If you're hooked up to "City water": the one-way valve has probably just got some gunk in it, and is sticking open... It most likely just needs a good cleaning.

Happened to me about three times. Turn off city water. Run water pump for about 1 or 2 minutes. Turn city water back on, pump off. Empty fresh water tank.

It appears that left over drilling debris (plastic) will get stuck in the check valve and allow water from the city water side backflow through the pump into the fresh water tank.
