The water flows through a mixed media filter with layers of layers of gravel, sand, and charcoal or coal, which filter out fine sediment. The sediment is removed from the filter by backwashing, dewatered and disposed of in a landfill.
When the water is pumped into the holding tank, it contains fine particles of sediment that are not yet filtered out as they would be in a city water system. By the time the well water is delivered, most of the particles have settled into the bottom of the tank.

Pherhaps, silt? Sediment?
a bedload
take it to a vet but usually it is fine or drinking to much water
For drinking water fine sand is frequently used.
I live there, its fine
Definatly not..unless you filter it, then its fine
It depends on what tanks the question is about? Assuming a water tank, water entering the tank will have a certain amount of sediment, even tap water. The sediment may be so fine as not to be obvious. But, over time, the sediment may form a scum lining the tank and valves. Periodically, the tank needs to be emptied and cleaned out.
