Winter Water Changes
Because the system uses Lake Michigan as its source, you may see some seasonal changes in the water you receive. The most obvious is temperature.
During the summer, tap water will usually be 55º F or above; whereas during the winter, temperatures will range between 35º F and 45º F. The colder winter water temperature can sometimes produce a cloudy or milky appearance. In most instances, this cloudiness does not indicate any problem with the quality of the water, but is actually air or dissolved oxygen. Air stays suspended in cold water for longer periods of time. If cloudiness remains after the water stands for several minutes,contact the Gurnee Water Department at (847) 599-6800.

I'm really sorry, but I find it difficult to consider a 20+ degree temperature swing from as low as 35 degrees to 55 degrees (and above) to be considered as "negligible" or "very slight".
There are many other applications than just yours.
And that, is what I mean by a 90 degree rise in water temperature. If you start with 35 degree tap water, how many degrees must it be warmed for it to become 125 degree water for your dishwasher? 90.
