Assuming the beer that was in the keg that just kicked was sanitary (no major microbial contamination), you're probably better off leaving beer in the lines than water. If you introduce non sanitized water, bugs could potentially grow.
That said, beer lines, faucets, etc. really should be cleaned and sanitized at every keg change.

This usually happens to me when I don't have a new beer to add immediately to my keezer. I've rigged up a garden sprayer with a ball lock post (see: DIY Beer Line Cleaner ). That way I can pump a bit of sanitizer into the line to keep it clean until the next beer goes on tap.
