Cloudy/Milky Water?
Occasionally, glasses of water may appear cloudy or milky before it clears up. This may be happening for a few reasons:

The water in the pipes is under more pressure than the water in the glass.
The water in the glass contains a large number of tiny air bubbles.

The solubility of air in water increases as pressure increases and/or water temperature decreases. Cold water holds more air than warm water. This is especially visible in the winter, as water travels from the very cold reservoir and warms as it travels to your tap. Pressure may also play a role as the pipes are pressurized to a degree (this helps get the water from the tower to your home). Water under pressure holds more air than water that is not pressurized. Once the water exits your tap, it is no longer under pressure and the air comes out of solution as bubbles. Letting the glass sit should result in the bubbles disappearing naturally.

If milky/cloudy water persists, please use the above form to report water quality issues or call City Hall at 763-479-0515.
