Answer:

Uhm.

Step-by-step explanation:

'Using hot tap water for drinking or cooking is a no-no, the Environmental Protection Agency warns. That's because hot tap water can leach harmful contaminants like lead from your home's service pipes into the water you might be drinking or using to prepare hot foods.'

Answer:

As long as the water is boiled/purified properly, it is fine to cook with it. But in some cities, the water is not safe as it contains some pollutants and other toxins that could be bad.

I would recommend using a water purifier/filtrating it.
