You need to tell us what Village you live in so we can give you help.

But generally, when the Villages flushes the drinking water system it will stur up sediment and you will see it in your sediment filter as per your picture.

I don't believe rainfall has anything to do with it because regardless if the Villages is pumping from the upper or lower aquifier, they are supposed to be processing and treating the drinking water which also has a limit on sediment in addition to other factors.

I also don't believe you have a leak where ground water is contaminating your drinking water. If it were you would see water coming up from the ground somewhere near your home.
