I've carried water occasionally in the past - aside from hiking trips my grandfather built a summer house without running water. I would prefer to have clean rather than just running water, since the latter is useless when contaminated. There's a stream close to where my grandfather built the house. We never used water from there because it was too rich in iron, even though it's more accessible since you don't have to pull the bucket out like in a well.
