Not likely if the temperature of the water heater is high enough. Viruses/germs can live in water heaters if the temperature is low enough.
Depending on where your water comes from if you have city water or well, there could be bacteria, especially with city water as sometimes in a disaster, if something happens in the water lines, they'll ask that you boil your water before consuming. Your safest route if you doubt the safety of the water is to contact your local health department and find out how to have your water tested.
