The length of time it takes raw meat to freeze solid will depend upon the total amount being frozen, the dimensions of what is being frozen, and the freezer itself (capacity, temperature, air circulation).

A large roast could take 24 hours or more to freeze solid. I have seen pallets of a raw ground meat product sit in a commercial freezer for a week where the center of the pallet was still not frozen because the cases were tightly stacked eliminating cold air circulation.

However, the process of freezing will not kill any germs, only put them in stasis. So if the water was undrinkable before it was frozen then it will be undrinkable after being frozen.
