How does water come out of your tap so quickly from where it’s stored?

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?

Water is already in all the pipes under moderate pressure, when you open the tap, water gets out from the pipe directly behind it

Ultimately all the pipes connect to a water tower where water is stored for the town, it’s at hight so water just has to flow downhill without the need for pumps
