Tap Cold Temperature Check

Yesterday, after all of the washers had filled (to make sure none of the water in the cold pipes had absorbed heat from inside the house) I opened a cold water faucet in the basement and tested the temperature of the cold water. It was 60F.

That's about what we get in winter. The city's above-ground tanks get colder but the ground heats it in transit. In summer it gets upwards of 80F.

Just tested mine, It was 61F.  Have also tested in the month of January and it was close to 38F.
