Why is my water fizzy?

[ben2go]

I am currently on the city water grid.Today when we went for a drink,the water was fizzy and full of little tiny bubbles like carbonated water.It had no smell.It usually smells like chlorine.Our area is feed by 3 tanks.One is on a tower the other two are on grade(ground) on a hill.All three are between 5 and 6 miles away.We are considered a rural agricultrial area,which puts us close to the end of the pipe line.The water company has tested the water, at our house, and tells us there is no problem and it's safe.I have family that works at the water company doing installs and repairs.the water never gets fuzzy when one of them is around.Has anyone experienced this and has the issue be solved and resolved?Thanks in advanced for any help.


BTW.We are remodeling our other home and plan to use a rain catchment system for most of our water needs.We don't water our lawn.The weather takes care of that.We don't wash vehicles unless they are really dirty.I am planning a small garden and maybe a green house with aeroponics/hydroponic herbs and veggies.Anyway,just sharing our future plans in this paragraph.

Maybe they piped in champagne for New Year's Eve?

There was a break in the line somewhere. While it was being repaired air got in the line.

This might help understand why some water comes fizzy.

Why Is My Water Fizzy? Answers About Milky-Looking Water
The most common cause of milky-looking or gray-colored water is dissolved air in the water. This condition is due to unique high altitude water system, which combines a steep, turbulent drop in elevation with cold water that is already naturally saturated with dissolved gasses. This results in a sometimes milky-looking water at the tap. Effervescence such as this is most noticeable in the winter and early spring months, though it can occur at any time of the year.

Cold water from the mountains can be supersaturated with dissolved air as it enters the water treatment plants. As the water is sent it is pressurized above 150 pounds per square inch. When this water enters your home and warms to room temperature, the dissolved gasses comes out of the water as tiny air bubbles.

To determine if tiny air bubbles are causing your water to look milky, you can do the following experiment. Fill a clear glass with cold water and set it on a counter top or table. Watch and see if the milky-looking substance rises to the top of the glass. Within a few minutes most of the tiny bubbles will move to the surface of the water and the water should look clear.

This may help some not sure.

There hasn't been any line breaks but the rest is feasible.I live in the foot hills not all the way in the mountains.My elevation isn't much less than the tanks and we only have 40psi of water pressure here.However, our temps have been wildly fluctuating lately and is probably the cause.

It is dissolved air in the water. We have in here in town and are not high elevation. It is fairly common in the winter.
