I live in an apartment and in each of my bathrooms I am noticing black gunk accumulating at the water faucets where the water comes out from as well as in my showers. I also just bought a new showerhead about 8 weeks ago and now there is black sediment settling in the little holes that water comes out of. ANY IDEAS?

We need a little more information. Type of piping? Copper? Plastic or galvanized?
Do this for me, Remove the aerator form one of your faucets so the screens don't trap any of the gunk. Now draw a pan full of cold water and a pan full of hot water.
Which pan has the most gunk in it? Let me know, Tom
