At times my drinking water looks milky and has a funny odor. What can I do about it?

Bubbles of air trapped in the water can make it appear cloudy and milky. It is only temporary until it settles. The smell is from the chlorine NYC uses as a disinfectant to kill the germs. Filling a pitcher and letting it stand in a refrigerator overnight will eliminate the odor.
