It's clean water. They circulate ocean water through a heat exchanger to cool the steam condenser.
Nuclear plants do the same thing.

The water can be clear to begin with, but I assume some chemicals are leaching into it from the entire apparatus that the water cycles through. Just like clean water was cycling through lead pipes in Flint and eventually became toxic.
Well, it would be an invalid assumption. The pipes are just pipes. There are no chemicals.
Do you also avoid touching water from your kitchen sink? Your bathroom shower?
You think there's no chemicals in your tap water? You think nothing leaches from your plumbing into the water either?
