WaterMatters

WaterMatters is a quarterly newsletter included with water bills that covers a large number of topics​ related to water. 

Cloudy Water

My water appears cloudy straight from the tap but becomes clear after sitting in a glass for a few minutes. Why?

This phenomenon is known as “flashing” and occurs because air (Oxygen) is more soluble in cold water. When water from cold outdoor pipes is poured into a glass inside a warm home, the tiny captured air bubbles are quickly released. The air is just flashing out of the cold water. However, if your water remains discolored, or has an odor, please contact us.
