Back when most people in Melbourne used to go to the beach for tashlich,
I saw R Chaim Mordechai Perlow z"l, who was too frail to walk that far,
go outside, turn on a tap in the shul driveway, and say tashlich by the
running water.  Tap water is, after all, connected to the reservoir (and
according the strict din may even be used for a mikveh).
