Yes, and providers normally advise it, because disturbing a line loosens material that has been sitting in it. The rating matters here, so check that the cartridge is meant for lead. Follow the flushing instructions the provider gives once the connection is finished.

Rust particles from upstream collect in the tank and stay there. Draining the tank clears the layer without addressing the source. Fixing the supply pipe is what removes the source.

Rust building up inside galvanized supply pipe is the usual cause, because the buildup narrows the bore a little at a time. Nothing bursts, so the decline goes unremarked until a shower and a washing machine compete. Gauging the pressure at the house against the street pressure shows how much the pipe is stealing.

Your water provider can usually arrange or advise on a test, and many run sampling programs for homes with known lead lines. Independent laboratories will also take a sample. Sampling and the material record answer two different questions.

Not always, because trenchless methods can pull a new line along the old path in many situations. Ground conditions and what else is buried nearby determine the method. A plumber will normally locate the line before choosing an approach.
