I was surprised to see an ad from NYC government that recommended running your tap for 30 seconds before consuming water to remove any sediments from the pipes.

I was surprised to see an ad from NYC government that recommended running your tap for 30 seconds before consuming water to remove any sediments from the pipes. This leads me to believe that household water conservation is not so important in the region. Also considering things like pools and gold courses, I imagine water conservation within a house has almost no impact.
