To find out how many quarts of water Lavelle has, we need to convert the gallons of water into quarts.

1. **Identify the known values:**
   - Lavelle has $$ 3 \frac{1}{4} $$ gallons of water.
   - The conversion factor is $$ 1 \text{ gal} = 4 \text{ qt} $$.

2. **Convert gallons to quarts:**
   - First, convert $$ 3 \frac{1}{4} $$ gallons into an improper fraction:
     $$
     3 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{12 + 1}{4} = \frac{13}{4} \text{ gallons}
     $$

3. **Multiply by the conversion factor:**
   - Now, we multiply the number of gallons by the conversion factor to find the number of quarts:
     $$
     \text{Quarts} = \frac{13}{4} \text{ gallons} \times 4 \text{ qt/gallon}
     $$

4. **Calculate the total quarts:**
   - The $$ 4 $$ in the numerator and denominator cancels out:
     $$
     \text{Quarts} = \frac{13 \times 4}{4} = 13 \text{ quarts}
     $$

Thus, Lavelle has $$ 13 $$ quarts of water.

The final answer is $$ 13 $$.
Lavelle has 13 quarts of water.
