Turbidity is commonly caused by fine silt. The presence of silt indicates either inadequate filtering or post filtering contamination. Either way the water could be unsafe to drink. Another cause of turbidity is actual microbial growth, water with enough turbidity due to microbial growth to be detected is definitely unsafe to drink.
