You don't say where you live. Its probably because the water is coming from a different source. Water companies use their "own" water when they can but buy it in from places like Wales when they have to.
There is a network of pipes that allows them to do so but it doesnt cover the whole country. Thats why Southern Water are in so much trouble.

In the winter the water is colder and therefore more dense - as such it won't absorb minerals as readily as it will when warm.

I think your water comes down off Dartmoor the same as mine.
I haven't noticed any difference in TDS when i have checked it.
