how long can it take to lather up ? either its extremely hard water, you're a larger-than-most specimen, or need a new bar of soap,,, usual ambient ground water temp is ( guessing ) abut 65f under your slab/in the ground,,, that may feel cold when sprayed on our skin.
not aware of insulated water supply lines anywhere in the world,,, there MAY be some foam where the wtr pipe enters your very fine home in the slab penetration but, other than that, as someone else said, insulating water lines would be a difficult as smelling the # 9
we built several structures using icf's ( insulated concrete forms ) [ think of a cmu only styrofoam ] what a TERRIFIC product - quiet, insulated, solid, almost hurricane-proof,,, addl cost amortization over stick-build was 18% ( 5yr payback ),,, as bldr efficiency increased, that cost adjusted to 22%,,, believe there's a 12story bldg in miami of icf's
