Pre-flush vs post-flush sample
Two ways of taking a water sample: a pre-flush (first-draw) sample is collected the moment the outlet is opened, to capture what is sitting at the tap, while a post-flush sample is taken after running the water, to test the incoming supply. Which one to use depends on the question you are trying to answer.
