Black specks in cold faucet water?
Today I was drank a cup of water from the sink and when I went to fill up a second cup I noticed a lot of black flakes. Seeing this I tried it in the bathroom for the sink and shower and got the same results with less flakes. I'm going back to school in the fall and don't really know much about houses, and while my mom doesn't have much for repairs I was wondering what it could be, if it's harmful and what we can do from here. Also my throat/chest hurt a bit after drinking it but that may be an overreaction. Any advice helps thank you!
