What's in that water?
Lead
That's in there too, but probably not giving it the colour. Probably just general dirt and sediment doing that.
No, you can simply look it up.
Lead poisoned water is orange-brown or "rusty". Lead colours water easily.
You can indeed look it up.

You cannot see, taste, or smell lead in drinking water.
That is pure lead, something that rarely happens, lead will bind to other elements and metals it comes in contact with.
Also from the CDC, they list how the amount of lead, and the subsequent colour change, is affected by other variables.
