Default Safety of Copper Pipes?

.hmmmph our well water ph here runs about 8-9 and will disolve a copper pipe in a year or two

in 1999 they put in a new subdivision an school near here and have had
to replace all lthe copper pipes with pvc because of leaks, a real pain
when the pipes are in under a concrete slab
