Thank you in advance.
New to TV, right?

This subject seems to come up every year towards the end of spring. Just how it is here for apparently most people, and it won't get cold no matter how long you run it--just drives up the water bill.

It reduces the energy requirement to heat your water, so bonus.

Add ice to the water you want to drink. Problem solved.

Wait until the winter months. The tap water will be cold but........not nearly as cold as the water in New York in the winter.

I noticed it too. In the summer time the cold water faucet delivers semiwarm water. The answer is to use the fridge water for drinking. Or add ice cubes.

Amazing what can be learned on TOTV.
Add ice to warm water to make it cold!

Maybe because the pipes are the temperature of environment?

In the winter months I have my shower handle set to 11 o’clock and in the summer around 1-2 o’clock. Big difference when the “cold” water is “florida cold”

When we lived in Indiana, we were on well water. It was icy cold, so when we moved here I noticed the “cold” tap water is lukewarm at best. Big difference.

When I moved from Houston to Denver that was one of the first things I noticed; the cold water was cold. Just a north/south thing.
