I’m curious why our kitchen faucet cold water never seems to get cold? It’s on the warm side of lukewarm.

Thank you in advance.

Because most of the water that comes to your house is coming from one of the water tower tanks. That water is sitting up there getting beat on by the sun all day long.

Not to mention the ground temp is probably 70 degrees, so then are the pipes.

Pipes are not buried deep enough.

That is why we use quite a bit of ice

Cold water is not really cold, it's just not hot ...

When your house was built, it was cheaper to plumb luke warm water to the house vs cold water, it’s all about the evil Developer trying to save a buck.

OP, are you saying that the cold water in the kitchen has a warmer temperature than other faucets in the house? If so, I would measure the water temperature difference. There should not be a significant difference after running the water for long period. If it is, you may be getting some hot water mixing with the cold.

Along those lines, if the house has a hot water recirculating system then that could cause the cold water side to be warm initially.

If you do not live here in TV, then shut up, you have no skin in the game. If you do live here, then move. You have options.

Was that person serious? I read it as sarcasm

It is because we live in Florida. When we lived in Vermont the cold water was cold. Different climate. Get yourself a refrigerator that has a water dispenser. Problem solved.
