It was on a vip charter - they are probabally just draining the ice bucket , or bar fridge .

Is the maintenance to plug the leak? I'm genuinely curious as to what all the liquid was pouring out. Does anyone here know?

I'm not familiar with B737 systems, but possibly it is water condensate from the aircon system. I know the systems on the CityJet Bandits required regular draining.

Draining the potable and toilet water?

Barnsey has got it. The potable and toilet water servicings are carried out from the right rear fuselage. I suspect the BBJ was in for servicing and afterwards, the water supplies were in need of a freshen-up.

Mayby just flushing the system after a pressure check? also have seen this on lots of Bizjets going into the sheds for work etc....commonly also done when OAT was expected to drop below freezing, so that, the pipes wouldnt burst thanks to being full of expanded (now frozen) water :-)

That' a good point regarding the freezing in pipes, it must be a worry I guess.

Certainly is Dave, its also very expensive. A friend of mine who is Chief pilot on a swiss based G550 had the misfortune of having this happen after the jet was moved out of the hangar to make room for someone else during the depths of a winters evening in Geneva.....$380,000 USD later (and a week out of service) all the burst lines were replaced, as was a host of avionics.
