With gravity. Peter the Great put extensive fountains in his Peterhoff castle and all of them worked by gravity. They are still working today. The ancient Romans used a combination of aqueducts, underground cisterns, and gravity to bring water to their fountains and cities. These too are still working in many places.

How did people survive Vesuvius?

They went on with not a great life, they would have no electricity so they would only rely on the sun. They would have to start work early in the morning to get money. Most citizens get their water from the fountain, so they don't really have clean water. For breakfast, they would just have a piece of bread, cheese or sometimes veges. For their own entertainment, they would usually go to theaters, gambling, or else throw a party.
