That's a good question.

It looks like there is a line coming off just above the shutoff but before the filter. Does that go somewhere like a hose bib that you can get water from? It might be worth filling a bucket with water taken before the filter to see what settles out or even having a sample analyzed for water quality.

You would think that the utility might be interested in helping to explain this but I assume you have already contacted them.

Which village do you live in? Others from that area may be able to offer more specific information.
