Mojave waterholes

In my old copy of Pacific Crest Trail - California, there are numbered =
waterholes along the aqueduct between Lake Hughes and Mojave.  The text =
says that water can be obtained through the openings by using rope and a =
water container.  Is this still true?  Is it simple?  Do any of you out =
there have any hints?  Or should one carry water?  Thank you again for =
the answers that always come in.
