Do you have a source for this?
- jmort 3y agoProbably https://www.epa.gov/lead/why-cant-i-use-hot-water-tap-drinking-cooking-or-making-baby-formula https://www.epa.gov/lead/why-cant-i-use-hot-water-tap-drinki... https://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/21471/is-hot-tap-water-safe-for-cooking https://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/21471/is-hot-tap... has some more sources
- atomicnumber3 3y agoI don't know about sources, but I do know: - if you go to lowes, many of the fittings for hot water pipes are made of lead - my cold water supply doesn't sit in a big 50+ gallon tub for 1-2 days at a time (I don't think we fully empty it but every other day, on kid bath night) - old hot water heaters will fill with sediments and other buildup So like, on a scale of drinking sewage to drinking dew collected from the leaves of Yggdrasil? It's probably about the same as drinking (cold) tap water. But also like, given a choice, I'll probably go for the cold tap.
