Iowa American Water Explains Cloudy Water Phenomenon
- Water Quality Assurance: Iowa American Water guarantees that its water meets or exceeds all Iowa Department of Natural Resources and U.S. EPA Safe Drinking Water Act regulations, alleviating customer health concerns regarding water quality.
- Cause of Cloudy Water: The cloudy or milky appearance of tap water is primarily due to dissolved air bubbles, particularly noticeable during winter months when water temperatures drop to 32.5 degrees Fahrenheit, which customers can verify by observing bubbles rising in a glass of water.
