I had this last week on the east side. It’s sediment in the pipes. Keep running the cold water for 20 minutes and if it doesn’t clear then let it sit a few hours. If this is from last night, it should be clear. If it’s not, call providence water.
Do Not run the hot water. Your hot water is running clear because it’s coming from the hot water heater which may not have gotten sediment in it. If you run your hot water while the sediment is stirred up, it will fill your tank and could cause problems.

Probably should either remove your aerator before doing this or clean it after to get out the sediment it catches.
