A search in Google provided an even more apposite explanation, though this is probably an apocryphal urban legend: "When people flung their potty waste out of the window (a common practice before modern sanitary systems were put in place in homes in Paris and London and no doubt other towns), they would shout "Gardez l'eau" (gar-day low), French for 'watch out for the water'".
