UTI from bad water?

Hello Superstars!
Mom my has a UTI she started peeing blood this morning. (She is going to the doctor tomorrow morning even if I have to DRAG her there.) Anyway she is absolutely convinced that she got it from drinking the tap water at work. The tap water is not monitor by the city so who knows if it is contaminated with something.

I can't find any thing on Google saying she would get a UTI from drinking bad water. I don't think it's possible

What do you think? Any sources saying one way or the other would be helpful.

Tell her that if she won't go with you to the ER, you'll call 911 for her and have paramedics come to look at her.

Seriously.

Follow through if you have to - tell the operator that she is peeing blood and hesitant to go to the ER, and you don't know if it is safe to wait until tomorrow or not. Paramedics can check basic vitals and help her decide if she should wait or go. (Of course, by the time your insurance pays for this, you might as well have just gone - factor that into your urging if she is very money conscious).
