In the same manner all persons may wash clothing, vessels, or other objects in canals, ditches, or uncovered aqueducts of public waters, even though they be the temporary property of the grantees, provided the margins are not injured thereby and that the use to which the water is put does not require that it be in a state of purity. But cattle or horses shall be bathed or watered only at the places set aside for this purpose. History —Law of Waters, art. 128.
