Experience I have been reading about and studying Urban Legends and folklore as a hobby for many years now.
Question Would you please tell me what the origin is of the saying "there must be something in the water"?
Answer Not really an urban legend, rather just a folk saying.
When a group of people that live or work together are affected by a common occurrence the implication is made that perhaps there is 'something in the water' (an impurity of some kind) that causes the people to be more susceptible to that occurrence.
This saying is most often used when several women in a working environment or social group fall pregnant at the same time.
