Since it's only the hot water I assume it's a problem in my house, but
just to be sure I checked with my neighbors and the do not have any
problems. *We have town water.
What could be causing this? *The air comes out in strong bursts

thanks.
First make sure this is an "air" problem and not a "steam" problem. I
have seen this be caused by a stuck thermostat on the water heater and
the water was actually boiling. Its a miracle the water heater didnt
blow up given it had no saftey vavle.
