Excuse the partial reference, but I am away from my office right now...
Arthur D. Little and others assembled data for EPRI on this in support of
hourly water heater modeling in the late 1980s. It may have a longer
history than that. I know the data can be found in the old EPRI ESPRE
User's Manual Appendix A. It has average annual water temperature for about
150 cities. It also includes a factor for seasonal temperature variation,
with the variation using a sinusoidal formula (1992) and amplitude that
varies by city.

Subject: [bldg-sim] Data source for cold water inlet temperatures
I'm looking for a data source for typical inlet water
temperatures (water main temperature) for residential
service water heaters for locations in the United States.
This is roughly equivalent to the ground temperature at 6
to 8 feet depth. The temperature varies seasonally so
knowing the average monthly value would be best.
I am already aware of two sources of data that don't really
help: Engineering Weather Data from NCDC has the 50 ft
temperature and the map in the old ASHRAE Load Calculation
Manual is for depths of 4 inches.
Any leads would be appreciated.
