The water from my garden hose feels too warm even after I have run the existing water out of it and the house plumbing. I was wondering if it is possible that it is siphoning from the water heater. The garden hose is very long 150". I am on a community water system operated by a private company. Of course, it could just be my perception rather than a real problem. Any thoughts?

I would see if I could find the pipes in the basement to see if they are also getting worm. I would then look for a cross connection. I would also check any fixtures that are close by to see if the cold water is also worm.

run hose then turn cold water supply to water heater off...
If temp of water drops significantly you may have a cross connection...
Now turn water supoply to heater back on... if hose heats back up, you do have a cross connection... (or tempered water to your hose bibb...LOL)
