Another place to look is your hot water system. if its a solar / gas unit some have an anode this may be braking down and contaminating the hot water line.

also heads up
DO NOT remove the water meter that enters your property to do a in coming water inspection. If a water corporation fitter comes to change it they strap a large copper cable across each side of the pipe work before they remove it.
