Run your tap a few seconds before you use any of the water, you’ll be fine.




Needs to be a few minutes depending on where the lead is. I have lead service line and the city does testing and the sample collected after 3 minutes had the highest lead level by over 3x because that was the water that sat overnight in the lead service line.

Sounds like whatever the location is is probably a non-issue if your first use of water for the day is toilet or shower.
