When I opened my water tap this morning, out came what looked like milk!! It's not just oxygen, it still looks that way after sitting in a glass for awhile.
It's like that from all faucets! I live in Bonita. Anyone heard anything? I checked the VCDD website and there's no mention of a repeat of the boil water notice. I'm boiling everything just to be sure.:shrug:

I'm in Amelia and just checked ours. Clear as a bell! However...it was clear as a bell during the "boil water warning", as well, so I guess that's not an indication. :undecided:

I'd call the water company just to be on the safe side, but it's probably nothing. Air bubbles are the usual cause of the milky look. There might be a bit too much pressure in the pipes, especially after going from "low water" to this rain. Anyway, air bubbles dissolve in pressurized water, releasing a gas. The gas from the air bubbles is what causes the cloudy look.
