Usually this is said when it's noticed that people in a certain place are doing well at something. It's said as a joke that 'there must be something in the water' that is helping them.
I heard this said last night, when I went to a book launch. The author mentioned how many Leicester authors were doing very well, and said 'people are asking me if there is something in the water.' As if there is something in the water in Leicester that helps people write good books.

"There must be something in the water" is a joke to explain a trait, characteristic, or particular behaviour of a group of people. The idea is that a chemical in the drinking water makes everyone that way.
"Have you noticed how Polish people are all so friendly and polite?"
"I know! There must be something in the water"
"Why do young people these days have no morals?"
"You're right, I think it's something in the water"

@-hani- Your translation is 100% correct but I actually meant nonliteral meaning as this sentence is idiomatic. :)
Thank you.
Thank you.
