No plumbing supply in the area. They are going to run a garden hose for the supply.

This was in a loft of a summer cabin, the water supply came in through the drain valve. ( I know there are many irregularities here) All the plumbing was pitched to drain, so it was possible to shut off all the water to the cabin, open all valves, followed by an exterior faucet, and drain the entire cabin in minutes. Open the valve on the top of the water heater to drain the tank.

Hard to argue against that logic!
