Why is my drinking water cloudy at times?

This is nothing to be concerned about. The cloudy water is caused by air bubbles in the water similar to gas bubbles in beer or soda. After a short while, the bubbles rise to the top and the water clears. Although Grafton utilizes ground water, which varies little in temperature, cloudiness generally occurs more often in the winter when drinking water may be colder.
