The point behind boiling cold water rather than hot is that it
hasn`t been through your water heater and been stored in your
pipes.  I've always considered that a bunch of
hot air and tend to use hot water for the obvious reason that it
takes less heat to boil it.  Colorado river water tastes terrible
anyway and I doubt if I'd notice the difference.
