We had pinhole leaks in our copper water pipes in our nice home in Cincinnati.

Was that a pressure problem? An acid water problem? Or some said that it was due to electrical lines overhead. I don't know, may never know.
GG, the holes in the copper pipe could have been caused by electrolysis or they may have been due to galvanic corrosion if the copper pipe was connected to a galvanized fitting(s).
