You have particles of your piping in your water supply. Depending on what your pipes are made of you may have lead in your water

More than likely the cause is galvonized pipe that is rusting on the inside and coming out in the water supply.

There is nothing wrong in with your plumbing if you are getting black particles. If the pipe is not used for many days or if the pipe is very old, you may get black paricles.
