I know it can get hot from the boiler, so how does it get super cold?

Whether the water is coming from a well or coming from a city water pipe, both are located underground which is cooler usually than the ambient air temp (except for winter) and the temperature of the pipes in your house. Well water will stay consistently colder while city laid pipes may be subject to greater temperature variations due to the seasons if they aren’t very deep enough.
Don’t confuse this with geothermal heat extraction in which Wells are dug very very deep to extract/exchange heat which can be used for heating and or energy production on the surface. (Basically when you go a few feet down the soil temperature is in a consistent range that you feel when you run your well water for a while but if you go much much deeper especially in areas with shallow geothermal reserves the Earth starts to heat up quite a bit).
