Your FAQ

Question: My water is cloudy when I run it - what can I do?

Answer: If you run a glass of water and it looks cloudy, please let it stand for a moment and watch the glass. If the water clears from the bottom up, then the cloudiness is caused by tiny air bubbles, is a normal occurrence and is nothing to worry about. If your water clears from the top down, or doesn’t clear at all, contact your water supplier, and report your concerns. The water company will investigate and take any necessary action.
