It comes from the ground, what do you expect. If the dirt is significant you may need a sediment or sand filter. I would definitely take a sample for analysis if you are drinking it.

Why would cause well water be cloudy?

if the well water were to be cloudy there is probaly a hole in the side somwhere deeper down in the well. The dirt from underground might be getting in :(ANS 2That is a totally ridiculous answer, as the bottom of the well is always open and dirt from underground ALWAYS gets in. (It usually settles fairly quickly) -There are any number of causes for this problem, and rather than speculating, take a water sample to your nearest lab and have it tested. You may have to have any of various filters fitted.
