"Just" was all over this answer, but you actually can filter out lead. Some filters will go all the way down to virus level. These aren't cheap!
You are at risk of a pipe breaking and flooding your house. According to Murphy's Law, this will happen 15 minutes after you leave to go out of town for the weekend.
It will hurt, but go ahead and replace the pipes.

If the pipes are 100+ years old, it's possible they have lead or other dangerous chemicals in them. I wouls not drink it even if it goes through a filter, as some of these chemicals can still pass through the filter. you should have a sample checked for safety.
