Heat gets blame for bubbly water

The drought and hot weather, along with pH levels and the hardness of the local water, have combined to create a perception problem about the safety of the city's drinking water.

While officials emphasize there is nothing unsafe about the water, some people are beginning to notice a cloudiness or milkiness that is unsettling to some users, according to Water Department Superintendent Steve Kelley.

"If you get a glass of water and can't see through it I can understand their concern," he said about water customers.
