There were some roads that pumped water directly out of a creek, river or lake, with only a screen filter to keep large objects out.
I've seen that practice used even recently.

I had heard that someone put city tap water into 844 one time a few years back which caused some major repairs to be needed.
I don't know how credible the story was.
