My water has a milky or cloudy appearance – what should I do?
Fill a clear glass with water and if the cloudiness clears, there is air in the water associated with the cold water temperatures and the water being pumped through the water distribution system. If the water does not clear after 15 to 20 seconds, flush your cold water for 10 to 15 minutes and if the water is still cloudy, call the Water Division at 301.739.8577 ext. 690.
