The temperature of water affects its pH. Not a whole lot though, but anywhere usually between 6.5 and 8.5. And I’m pretty certain the pH of water affects its taste.

Also, greater/lower pH levels in water can cause other problems, such as amount of certain metals in the water (Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb, and Zn) and damage to water pipes, which can have affects on taste.
