Jan 13, 2020 at 18:07 comment added computercarguy The EPA also states that most of the lead comes from the building/housing, not the water supply. And in 1986, they banned the use of lead pipes and solder from being used. Even the CDC article in your link mentions this. Where I currently live, most buildings are much newer than 1986. businesswire.com/news/home/20040708005684/en/…
Jan 13, 2020 at 17:50 comment added Sophie Swett I don't know what makes you think that your water "should be safe to drink at any temperature," or that hot tap water is "drinking water," but the United States Environmental Protection Agency says that you should not use hot tap water for cooking or for drinking.
Jan 13, 2020 at 17:09 comment added computercarguy @TannerSwett, I live in the US (not Flint, Michigan), so my drinking water should be very safe to drink at any temperature. Good to note for other people, though.
