Thought about this as well, yet the water is not cloudy and clears if allowed to sit. The smell of the water has an odor that reminded me of a metal or something like that. I'm not sure of water high in Calcium Carbonate would have an odor…just effervescence???
A contradiction in all of this is while the hot water can be in the lines when the cold water is used (making it seem like it's in both lines), the hot water has not had the symptoms today??? Puzzling.

You may have had some high-mineral water introduced into the plumbing system.
Disinfecting with bleach may have scrubbed the tank and the rest of the system so that minerals were suspended in the system. If you drained the system but not the water heater, there will still be a few gallons of water in the heater. If you have a Suburban water heater, I would suggest to drain the heater and inspect the anode rod. Some water sources will deteriorate the anode rod quickly and that could also result in cloudy water.
Good luck with the water and enjoy that good Canadian water.
