No, water is not a source of transmission of Hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is only spread through blood-to-blood contact, such as IV drug use, tattoos or unsafe sex.

No, that's hepatitis A, which may spread through contaminated water. Hepatitis C is primarily spread through IV-drug abuse (needle-sharing) and sexual contact.
