So how did the silver get into the groundwater? We know that it wasn't photographic waste products, and electroplating is pretty much out the window. What were they doing that resulted in 5.5ppm silver waste leaching into the groundwater?

Putting silver coins in containers with water or milk was used for its antibacterial properties.

The researchers suggest that the anomalously high silver concentrations
they found in the Jerusalem pottery samples may be analytical evidence
of the wealth of the city during the period.
So I guess that Jesus guy wasn't hallucinating when he said there
was a lot of filthy lucre floating around the temple.

Silver is a proven antibacterial. Having traces of silver in pottery prevented spoilage and bacterial caused sickness.
