Can Ebola contaminate water if infected person's bodily fluids come in contact with it?

Ebola can contaminate basic water, but only for a couple of minutes at most. The water would need to have the same saline levels as the human body, or the host cell would build pressure until it ruptured. When the cell ruptures, the virus would die. If a person were handling bloody water in an environment ebola was present, it would still be prudent to take precautions.
