A Water Quality Message for Iowa American Water Customers | Weekly Voice

In Davenport, Iowa American Water is reminding customers that cloudy or milky tap water seen more often in winter is caused by tiny air bubbles, not a health risk. Vice President of Operations Tony Loete said the utility’s water meets or exceeds state and federal standards, and hot water may appear cloudier than cold. The company suggests filling a glass and watching it clear from the bottom within a minute or two; if it doesn’t, call 866-641-2108. The Quad Cities system draws from the Mississippi River, which can cool to 32.5 degrees.
