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.
Don't you think if he had a leak that the pressure from the street would be pushing water out and not sediment in to his pipe? Also, we have had a flood of people with the same clear housing in their filter system reporting the same throughout the Villages recently.
