That's clever! Must have been a "stock" tank, i.e., water filled & open
at the top. Not a fuel oil tank nor potable water tank (!).

We did it with stock tanks and our home rain water tanks and drank the
water.
We never drank filtered or bottled water when we were kids.
My family ran a large cattle station , when out in the mustering camps
We drew our water for drinking and washing from the same water hole that
the stock drank from .
I'm still alive and breathing at 55.
