This. Also let it sit for a bit. If the white colour goes away then the water just had dissolved oxygen in it that was bubbling out.
This reminds me this was how our water always was in southern California. Straight from the tap it would be foggy and even fizz a bit as the air escaped. You just let it sit a minute or squeeze some lemon, just fine, but out of town guests were appalled. Maybe it's the same now but with those fridge door dispensers you can't tell.
When I was at summer camp as a kid, we always referred to the water as either "milk water" or "carbonated water" because of that effect.
