Why is the water is cold after the water tank was fixed?
Check temperature setting on tank , you may need to turn it from warm to hot. Make sure your water shut off valve is turned on above the hot water tank on the hot water side.Another possibility is the heating element:If you have a gas heater, did the pilot light go out? If so, relighting the pilot will take care of the problem.If you have an electric heater, was it restarted in the right order? (Don't turn the circuit switch on unless the tank is filled-- if tank is empty when power restored, the heating elements will burn out and need to be replaced.)

there are many possibilities. If you had your hot water heater replaced or fixed a water line then it could be air inside your water pipes and should go away after a while. you could have air still inside your water heater tank and when you first run hot water out of a fixture it could from flow bleed into your hot water pipe. If you think it isn't caused by air then your fixture can be the problem either your valve seal is loose or your aerator is bad. If you can find out either its air or water then it would easier to trouble shoot.
What is the risk of an explosion if pilot light on water heater goes out?
When pilot light goes out, gas flows out of the pilot light nozzle. If out has continued for a long time, a gas cloud can develop around the furnace. When you go to light the pilot light, you'll ignite this gas cloud and make a big fire ball. If your basement is drafty, you might never get a huge cloud of gas hovering around your furnace. When you notice that your pilot light is out, you should shut off the gas to the furnace and allow any stray gas to dissipate before you turn the gas back on and light the pilot light. alliedallcityinc.com

A common reason why a hot water heater won't stay lit is a faulty thermocouple, which is a safety device that detects if the pilot light is on. If the thermocouple is malfunctioning, it may shut off the gas supply to the pilot light, causing it to go out. Other possible causes could include a dirty pilot light, a clogged gas line, or a problem with the gas valve. It is recommended to have a professional inspect and repair the hot water heater to determine the exact cause of the issue.
