I can't remember the location (MP) of the pipe, but.., it is not
recommended to drink the water. It may seem 'pristine' upstream from the
pipe but animal waste, dead animals included, adds that little bit of
bacteria that can ruin a few days. Most wilderness campers these days,
afaik, carry water filtration equipment.

FWIW, I have consumed lots of 'beaver water' out of necessity, it won't
kill you :-)
