I don't have AC but my apartment lease covers unlimited water usage and the water is very cold. How can I best use this to cool my home?

I’ve searched around and mostly seen people create custom radiator builds attached to their water supply, but that’s beyond my skill level and I’m not sure if linking it directly to the water supply via piping would violate the lease or not. Are there any solutions a bit more DIY that I could take advantage of?
