Toilet Sweat

Install a pump, and draw water from the lake?

We are having similar issue with other pipes in our house and earlier this week plumber told us to run AC when it is humid. Thankfully we can remotely control it so now I just need to setup humidity sensor.

An AC will fix the sweating problem but you do not remotely have to run it if your not at the house. It will only start sweating when you are there flushing it introducing cold water into the tank. If the toilet has sat un-flushed on a 90 degree humid day it won't sweat the water inside it will be warm already.
