It is a good thing to turn off fresh air ducts/intakes and also to cut the water supply from outside the house. If you are worried about the water, give some to the dog or cat. Watch them for six hours or so. By then you'll have heard whether biological contamination to the source has occurred.

If the dog or cat croak, don't drink the water.
