To extend the analogy so it's more accurate: or you could go to the local stream and drink some water (host your own speech).

To add some spice from the real world, you may find that the local stream has run dry:

Farmers rely on access to groundwater for the cultivation of their crops. but since Coca-Cola's arrival, they have been confronted with a serious decline in water levels. [...] documents from the government's water ministry show that water levels remained stable from 1995 until 2000, when the Coca-Cola plant became operational. Water levels then dropped by almost 10 metres over the following five years.

The company was blamed for depleting the local supply of water even in communities where it did not have operations
