In your hot water heater you can set the temperature of your hot water but what is the temperature of your cold water?
Charles is on the right track, I want to know the temperature of "YOUR" water. Way to go Doc wish I could double your thumbs up.

don’t have a thermometer handy, but… in summer, it’s too warm to drink when you need a cool drink, as it is heated by the pipes in the warm ground and in the house’s crawl space….. in winter, it’s crisp and yummy cold!….
that would depend on your temp outside. here in iraq during the summer we turn off the water heater so the water sets in it and cools down. other wise the cold water will give you a hot shower
To answer your question I just checked. 58%. I don’t have the degree symbol. After I let it run a minute. I have a well.
There is a lot of variables for cold water temperature. In general all that can be said that it will be lower than the ambient air temperature in most cased
It’ll depend on ambient temperature, and therefore climate and season. Remember, part of the water line typically goes through crawlspace, ground and ducting so the final temperature is a congregate of the temperature of those three.
For water heater sizing they say to use 40 degrees F for the northern parts of the US and 60 degrees F for the southern parts. I presume this is a weighted average (weighted low, since it is for heating calculations).
