Dirt in the Tap

This could be an indication that the water has been contaminated by chemicals that have washed away the minerals and dirt as it came out of the ground. If this is true, your water should be filtered as soon possible using a sediment filter.
Dirt in your drinking water
If there are large amounts of dirt or other particles in your water, that can be a sign that the water is contaminated with minerals such as iron, manganese, copper, lead, and zinc. These minerals can lead to health problems such as kidney and liver damage.
You might also notice that the water tastes very salty or has a strong chemical taste. You might notice a high level of minerals in your water, such as sodium and chloride.

They can also produce hydrogen sulfide, which can cause severe health problems. It can cause nausea and headaches, delirium, skin and eye irritation, as well as headaches.
Tape Odors

It can cause diarrhea as well as stomach pain and rashes. It can also affect yeast that makes bread and pizza dough rise.
Tap Water with a pleasant aroma

Strong sulphur odors can indicate that your water has been contaminated by sulfur bacteria or hydrogen sulfide. This can lead to severe health issues such as nausea and headaches, dehydration, eye irritation, and skin and eye irritation.
Look out for stains in your sink and faucets that are green. This is often an indicator that your water has been contaminated.
A green stain can be seen on the faucet or sink and could indicate high levels in acid. You should get your water tested by a reputable local company to verify its quality.
