After reading all of the replies, I agree you do not have a LEAK. If you have concerns about excessive sediment, try going to a pet store and getting a water test kit for aquariums or possible ACE hardware for a water hardness test kit and an iron test kit. This should provide you with some additional information. Assuming you are friendly with your neighbors, you could ask to test theirs also to see if you get the same results. If you get different results, then you will need to investigate why you are getting different results. I know several of the water treatment companies will be glad to test the water, and will provide samples proving you need new filters and the associated high pressure sales pitch, that is why I am suggesting a DIY test.
