My water looks cloudy during the winter. What’s wrong?
During the winter months, when the water temperature drops below 40 degrees F, the water leaving the Water Plant is saturated with dissolved oxygen. When you turn on your tap to fill a glass, some of this oxygen begins to bubble up to the surface. To check to see if this is the source of your cloudy water, just draw a glass and let it sit five minutes. If the cloudiness goes away, it was the entrapped oxygen; if it doesn’t, you may have a water quality problem and you may want to call the Water Plant Lab at 847-853-7532.
