Cloudy Water

Los Angeles County Waterworks Districts (LACWD) is dedicated to efficiently managing our water resources to meet the increasing demands of our communities. As part of our ongoing efforts to optimize operations, you may notice a temporary milky or cloudy appearance in your tap water due to necessary adjustments. It is important to note that this change is purely aesthetic and poses no health risks. The dissolved air naturally escapes, and water clarity is typically restored within a minute, as observed by pouring a glass of water and allowing a brief period.

Please be reassured that LACWD consistently monitor water quality to ensure it complies with all state and federal standards before distribution.

Should you have any concerns or questions about the appearance of your water, we encourage you to reach out to us directly at 800-637-3661 or visit our Frequently Asked Questions page. Your satisfaction and peace of mind regarding your water quality are our top priorities.
