What are teh effects on humans when phosphorus is added to city drinking water?

Cindy asked this question Feb 6th, 2013 6:54 pm

Tap water in my kitchen is occasionally foamy and turbid (cloudy.) According to my village water comissioner, phosphorus may be the cause as it is added to the water to precent the lead, which lines the pipes from coming into our homes. What are the health effects of this foamy, cloudy, possibley phosphorus-laden water as it does not, in any way, look heathy to drink. Thanks!
