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.

What if I don’t live in America, and my local infrastructure is sanitary?
America’s water infra is fine. Flint was a case of mismanaging the water supply. (Neat write up in this thread.) Jackson Mississippi is the only other place I’m aware of modern issues, and I wouldn’t take MS of an example of American anything except for “bottom of the barrel everything”.
It’s actually common knowledge that the vast majority of American water infrastructure is now nearly 100 years out of date, and Flint was just one regional example of potential waiting crises.
