It would be very useful for you to measure and graph the temp of the water coming into your sumps, on a weekly basis.
As you can see from this chart, there is a temperature lag, depending on depth... the deeper, the greater the lag.
As you can see, on the chart, the yearly average is 62F, so this particular chart is for North Carolina or similar. But for you, the natural temperature of the earth will be around 50 degrees... but the temp swings will have about the same timing, and about the same departure from the center-line.

If it doesn't get colder than 60F, you probably have something else going on... my guess is that the whole thing is a result of your home heat penetrating down into the ground.
Just out of curiosity, what is the temperature of your cold water, after it has run for maybe three or four minutes?
