UTI from bad water?

[pinkmath.livejournal.com]

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.

I have to 2nd this. Please get her to an emergency room or urgent care asap unless she has a history of UTIs with blood in the urine being an early symptom. Generally, that means the infection is fairly well advanced and needs to be treated really soon or else she could compromise her kidneys.
