ITS DIRTY! And you know what dirty looks like! Cannot judge tap water by looking at it. Water with a small amount of iron dissolved in it will look rusty but be fine to drink. The EPA has established requirements for water as to chemical compounds and levels that are acceptable. There are also tests for color and oder threshold. If you refer to the EPA website you will be able to see what safe tap water really is. Looking bad is not a scientific way to judge water quality.
