Yes, you can safely drink cloudy tap water if the haziness is caused by harmless pressurized air bubbles trapped in the plumbing under high pressure. You can easily test this by pouring the water into a transparent glass; if the cloudiness vanishes from the bottom up within one to two minutes as microscopic air pockets escape, the water is perfectly safe. However, if the cloudiness is caused by suspended sediment, dirt, or rust particles, you should avoid drinking it until you flush your plumbing lines and the water runs completely clear. Verification: Let the glass of water sit undisturbed to confirm the bubbles dissipate.
