Talmud for Parah 5:8

שְׁתֵּי שְׁקָתוֹת שֶׁבְּאֶבֶן אַחַת, קִדֵּשׁ אַחַת מֵהֶם, הַמַּיִם שֶׁבַּשְּׁנִיָּה אֵינָן מְקֻדָּשִׁין. הָיוּ נְקוּבוֹת זוֹ לָזוֹ כִּשְׁפוֹפֶרֶת הַנּוֹד, אוֹ שֶׁהָיוּ הַמַּיִם צָפִין עַל גַּבֵּיהֶן אֲפִלּוּ כִקְלִפַּת הַשּׁוּם, וְקִדֵּשׁ אֶת אַחַת מֵהֶן, הַמַּיִם שֶׁבַּשְּׁנִיָּה מְקֻדָּשִׁין:

Two troughs in one stone [vessel], if one sanctified [water in] one of them, the water in the second is not sanctified. If they were punctured [connecting] one to the other, like the tube of a waterskin, or if the water overflows over them even [the thickness of] a garlic skin, if one sanctified [water in] one of them, the water in the second is sanctified.
