A question about our water

Even though the humidity is in the 60 percentile, I really enjoy the clouds especially during sunsets and sunrises. If I had a choice to move to Florida, I would definitely stay here because the heat is dry and not sticky like in Florida, so I’ve heard. The only time I’ve experienced that kind of wet heat was during a visit to Hong Kong in the summer. Once you stepped out of your air conditioned hotel room, subway or taxi, you would be sweating like a dog already. Just craziness.

One question, still unanswered for me about desert living is how come the water is always warm or scalding hot during the summer months? I usually shut off all my hot water lines during this time because the cold water is always hot. I don’t recall who told me once that the water pipes running throughout the city are only 2 feet deep and aren’t insulated to keep the heat out. I am not complaining, I’m just trying to understand if this is true and if it is, why?
