Nobody is being "actively" poisoned except perhaps the consumers of your rhetoric.
The lead develops a layer that keeps it from dissolving into water (much like aluminum develops an oxide layer) and won't hurt anyone as long as the water source doesn't pull a Flint. This is true for pipes both in houses and city pipes upstream.
Is it more dangerous than not, yes. But it's not really an "active" problem.
