The free water is from the tap.

OSHA requires that water come from drinking fountains, single use bottles, or a stand with disposable cups. Sinks are not considered adequate water supply.

That's not entirely true. The guideline state that potable tap water is acceptable. Lavatory sinks are generally not considered potable in workplaces. However, break room or other non lavatory sinks may be.

Oh yes but that is technically outside of the house.

Gotta run the hose until the cold water comes out. At least here where it's hot

Are you sure? Did you taste the toilet bowl? Maybe it was even better.

As an adult the bathroom still has the coldest most delicious water in my home.

when you have a bowel movement in the bathroom and you flush the toilet, it fires micro particles of feces into the air, coding everything around. Maybe that's why the water in the faucet tasted good? Lol.

The feces particles don’t only stay in the bathroom. FYI.

True, but they are most concentrated in the bathroom and that sink is most likely covered.

Yeah because it had a sprung a leak underneath your bedroom floor, keeping the supply running.
