If I am reading correctly, OP was refilling fresh water tank from a river? Not a good idea IMO what with the possible bacteria in the river water.
OP here...And I've drank out of garden hose before also.
Have not heard or read of any problems in my area at higher elevations and fast moving water.
But to be extra safe, water for cooking/drinking is ran thru our backing packing water purifier. That is after a 5 gallon and a couple 3 gallon plastic jugs we bring from home are empty. Which is usually good for 4 or 5 days depending on heat. Used to boil to purify on outside stove. Boiling water just guzzles those 1 pounds propane bottles in no time. But I do trust boiling more than back packing water purifier.
And if we pre-plan and pre-cook our meals we can go even longer and hardly use any water except to drink because very little cooking.
