The water sitting in pipes inside older homes, and newer homes, too, hold water that is warmer than the pipes that are in the ground leading to those homes. Some people run their tap water for a few minutes before filling their drinking glasses in order to get that cooler water.

Of course, more recently some home owners have been advised to flush their tap water in this way to remove the water that has been in direct contact with corroded lead pipe for an extended time and can therefore be presumed to have a higher lead content than water more recently arrived from the water mains.
