Pretty sure your not supposed to drink the tap water at all in a lot of places. I know my city sends a letter multiple times every year saying not to drink the tap water. Cookings fine thiugh :/

    Apparently, don't cook with it either:

    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.

    It's not just the lead, it's heavy metals in general.
