probably just minerals in the water, but you might want to contact whoever your water supply comes from. They also sell water test kits at places like home depot and ace hardware

Iron in the water supply?

 

[robertk]

Iron would be my guess. Could be the water, could be the pipes in your building. You could always run a magnet through it and see if it sticks.

Just go to the local hardware store and buy an iron testing kit.
Usually under $10
