And draw it in if there is a leak somewhere...

I guess that's a solid explanation. It wouldn't surprise me if the dirt
is from the mains as the water has always had a yellow hue to it,
especially in summer.

Is your neighbours water the same?

My neighbours have been a bit vague about it, so I don't really know,
they're quite old and don't seem to give two hoots either way. I've
had a leak detection expert in, and he says he simply couldn't find
anything. It does have the symptoms of a leak somewhere though, I know
what you're saying.
