weird TAP worms (not tape)?

i was dilligently cleaning my bathroom last night and cleaned around the cold water tap beacause there was a brown gunky build up there (i only cleaned it a week before) and after i scrubed it off into the basin, i noticed about 3 or 4 little worm like creatures all about half a centimetre or just over in lenght and they moved like an inch worm.

Does anyone know what these are and more importantly do you know if i should get it checked out incase they are living in my water supply or something?

they were just so creepy, they didnt like the "no more mould" that i sprayed on them
