Generally, it is advicable to run the tap a little bit before drinking the water off a tap, especially if the tap had not been used overnight. Also, one might just want to run the water till it is cold for drinking or warm for washing hands. Lots of water can be wasted. Why not collect the water to use for other purposes in the house. The water can be used for washing dishes or watering plants.
One easy way to do it is to wash and save a gallon milk or cider jug. Keep the jug near a faucet so that water can be collected instead of letting it go down the drain. In our house we collect about a gallon of water every few days. This is just about enough to water the potted plants inside the house.
