'Hales" is correct usage in that context, though probably colloquial. "To hale from" is synonymous with "to come from", at least in Australia. And News' work is still rubbish.

In Aussie bus stops used to have "hail driver" until Keith Moon marched up and down a bus there making the Nazi salute. Now it's signal driver.

Not that I'm a pedant or anything check hail vs hale

Doesn't matter... neither one is made from water.
