A foamy head on tap water is usually dissolved air released as the water flows, and it settles quickly. It is harmless, and it happens most after a pressure change or a repair.
The air

The test
Fill a glass — if the bubbles rise and clear, it is air; if the foam lingers, it may be soap or another substance.
The repair
Air in the lines is common after a repair or a shutoff, and running the taps clears it.
The caution
Persistent foam that does not clear, or foam with a smell, deserves a test, but plain fizzy tap water is normal.
The call
