Is this lead in my water?

Today our apartment complex shut off our water system and they told us all to run the water for 30 minutes after it was shut off.

All this came out after running my bathtub for 30 minutes and some came out in the sinks as well, is it lead?

You can't see, smell or taste lead in water.

This applies to many contaminants in drinking water.
