Also, where is it stored? If it’s stored way under your house, how can it come out of the tap in 1/2 a second? If it’s stored in a tank under the house like I imagine, should you let the tap run a moment before filling up a glass to avoid the water becoming stale? If not, why not?

The water in your pipes is like people standing in line for a bus. When the bus doors open (turn the water on), people flow through the line into the bus, and more people enter the back of the line from the water tower. Once the bus doors close (turn the water off), people wait in the line (pipes) until the door opens again. That way, there’s always water (people) ready to go at the bus’s doorstop.
TLDR: the water waits at the tap so you don’t have to.
