    Yeah bud,

    It'll be alge from the water pipes. If there has been recent work in your area or earth movement this is what it'll be.

    The alge can be a problem, espically if it tates bad, if the alge has come from very old pipes it could be very bad ( could give you diaoreeha etc.. )

    Best to talk to your water supplier and find the source of the problem until then filter the water through a clean cloth and boil it for a few minutes to kill any alge born viruses in it.

    Good Luck
