When cloudy tap water is the result of harmless pressurized air bubbles, the milky haziness disappears within one to two minutes as the microscopic air pockets rise and escape into the air. If the cloudiness is caused by municipal main line repairs or routine hydrant flushing that stirred up fine sediment, running your cold water taps for 10 to 15 minutes will clear the lines. However, if persistent cloudiness stems from failing well filtration equipment, it will remain until the filter cartridges are replaced. Verification: Test water clarity in a transparent glass container after letting it sit or running the tap.
