Cloudy or milky tap water typically indicates one of two distinct conditions. Most frequently, it means harmless pressurized air bubbles are trapped inside your plumbing system due to high water pressure. Less commonly, persistent cloudiness indicates suspended silt, dirt particles, or mineral sediment originating from municipal main line disturbances, aging galvanized pipes, or failing filtration equipment. Verification: Pour the cloudy water into a glass and let it sit for two minutes; if the cloudiness vanishes from the bottom up, it is simply trapped air.
