Summer water temps out of faucet

[Austin]

Water here comes out of the tap (only cold turned on obviously) right about 80 degrees during the summer. Anyone else notice/have this happen?

Yes, that is normal...The benefit for us is that when it is warmer, there are WAY less dissolved gasses in the water. You can change huge amounts during this time safely, as gas embolism (which is a threat, in the cold water, high gas months, of Winter)kills more fish, than common hobbyist know

Where do your waterlines run that it would heat up like that? Having the pipes running underground should keep the water pretty cool even in the summer. Well water around here only gets up to like 60 even when it's like 90 degrees outside. I've never really checked the temp of city water in the water, but it's nowhere near 80 from out faucets

Yeah it happens every summer so it's "normal" for me. Just wondering if anyone else experienced it. Good info though, thanks man!

It's very hot here, we break 100+ most everyday, girlfriend was life guarding last week and it was 107. So i guess to answer your question, the ground even warms up, doesn't get much below 85ish and night, and it's not even August!

Reservoirs are on the surface. I assume that is where most "cold" water comes from, when not from a well.

if i get the water from my tub faucet it is 85 degrees without any hot water. if i get it from the kitchen sink, its closer to 75-78 even in the summer

I'd go crazy. I didn't check the temperature today, but it felt around 90ish to me and the frigid cold shower I took was sweet, blessed relief against the oppressive heat.

If I couldn't even escape the heat in the shower I'd cry, then go crazy.
