where i live it’s a part of building code that hot water has to be hot enough that legionella doesn’t survive in it. depending on the place it might be different and whether building is up to code is a separate thing entirely
If you have legionella in your hot water, the issue isn’t going to come from drinking it, but inhaling it when you shower. As long as you don’t have a dead leg in your water system or a circuit that stagnates for long periods of time, legionella is pretty much a non-issue in the vast majority of homes, even older homes.
I’ve always heard not to drink hot tap water or cook with it because of the risk of nasty things leaching from the pipes. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-09-07/is-it-actually-bad-to-drink-warm-water-from-the-tap/102812252
Legionella specifically. If you’re going to drink hot from the tap, go all the way to boiling first
legionella dies after 2min at 60C tho

depends on your buildings construction, if you have steel piping then it should be fine as long as you boil it
