Hot water from the cold water tap

[Keith Inthere]

When I turn on my outside hose, hot water comes out of the cold water tap. This is the only time that this happens. We can not find any problems, and have replaced the water line from the street to the house as that was bend due to a tree. We now have better volume but still get the hot water in the restrooms when we turn on the outside water. Any idea what the problem could be.
