Water Source at Mt. Baldy Village?

I rode Glendora Mountain Road/Ridge Road yesterday and arrived at the village at 8:00 am. Due to the heat, even that early, I used up more water than normal. I have two 24 ounce bottles, and fortunately, decided to ration my supply on the way out in case I couldn't refill at the village. I tried the restaurant, ranger station/visitor center area, and the fire station. Everywhere I went was either closed or the water was shut off. I finally gave up as I realized it was getting warmer the longer I spent wandering around.

I finished the ride, but did not feel that great throughout since I did not take in the amount of water I needed. This was my third time doing this ride, and water previously had not been an issue as it had been much cooler. When I got home I immediately ordered two 33 ounce bottles, which will help. I'm not the fastest, so I am out there longer than most. Other than wearing a camelbak or knocking on doors, any tips would be appreciated.
