Who Gives a Shit: Do you have cloudy tap water right now?

Because this dude does.
If anyone else gives a shit, according to The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, it's TOTALLY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT:
Cloudy water, also known as white water, is caused by air bubbles in the water.It is completely harmless.
It usually happens when it is very cold outside because the solubility of air in water increases as water pressure increases and/or water temperature decreases.
Cold water holds more air than warm water.
In the winter, water travels from the reservoir which is very cold and warms up during its travel to your tap. The air that is present is no longer soluble, and comes out of solution.
