Hot water dissolves lead more quickly than cold water and is therefore more likely to contain greater amounts of lead. Never use water from the hot water tap for drinking, cooking, or making baby formula.

    In the early 70s the city I used to live in replaced all their old wooden water lines with concrete/asbestos pipes. They are now digging up the asbestos lines and replacing them with plastic. I do not know what the eventual plumbing will look like once they find out how the plastic is killing them.
