Three days after moving into my "new" (1950s) house and the brand new kitchen faucet clogged up with sandy sediment that is sort of a milky green color. I'm familiar with black sediment from iron pipes; is this green sediment natural with copper pipes? We're on utility water and have a gas water heater that's probably 5 to 8 years old. The house was unoccupied (except by realtors and our contractors) for at least a year before we moved in. Any guesses as to the source of this sediment and advice on what to do about it? I'm worried that all of the new appliances that we installed might get clogged up if this sediment continues to come.
