It's really annoying to not have any cold or cool water supply. You don't realize how important it is to have cold water until you don't have it. Fortunately I end up using only cold water at the end of a shower and it's not cold enough to cool off before getting out of the shower.

Your answer is right there in
bold.
But, no digging required…
Install a
“U” shaped pipe inside your well casing along side your existing supply line from your pump and connect it to the city water line.
The
“U” shaped pipe will act as a heat sink for the city water.
Just remember that you will need to size the pipe accordingly. 200’ of 3/4” pipe would probably have reduced flow. 1” dia. pipe should be about perfect. Then fully insulate the pipe running from the well to the house.
Do it and report back…😉
