Am I the only person who sometimes fills the tea kettle with hot tap water to reduce the time it takes for it to boil?
If you do, you shouldn't. This is from the CDC:
In all situations, drink or cook only with water that comes out of the tap cold. Water that comes out of the tap warm or hot can contain much higher levels of lead. Boiling this water will NOT reduce the amount of lead in your water
