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.

In the past 3hours she has peed twice. Neither time had blood. I watched her pee so I know for myself.

Now what?? UTI that was bleeding but now isn't?

Has she been eating anything that turns her urine colors? (Apparently blackberries and rhubarb can this, not to mention the classic beets. (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/urine-color/DS01026/DSECTION=causes)) Is she spotting or menstruating? Once when I peed blood, it was more like little clots rather than even coloration. How did it appear for her?

Has she had ANY pain in the lower back, bladder, crotch or while peeing? Maybe the color was due to something else.
