I have mold growing in the tap water pipe. How to dis-infest it?

Question

To whom said "mold growing inside a water pipe is almost impossible."

I can smell it when cold water run out. After running for a while, the smell is gone. I don't smell it with hot water. And one day, I saw some grey color water run out with the cold water. The only reason I can think of mold growing is that I was away from home last summer for one month.
