∙ 15y agoBuilding code (which includes Plumbing) varies on a state or local government basis, but here in Illinois, it is code to have hot water on the left. Note that this includes rotary knob faucets, commonly found in showers. This has been written into construction codes for safety reasons, as water from a residential water heater can scald and burn skin. I can't speak for everywhere, but I strongly believe that this standard code has been enforced across the US.

Most probably the "sediments" have settles to the bottom and as the hot water is taken off the top of the heater there will be none in the tap water. Hot water will contain less calcium and other impurities (they fall out and become those "sediments" but hot water may also dissolve other compounds from pipes. I use hot tap water in my coffee pot.
