CY: You figure to set up a local tank, or just
dump water into the wells, and juice up the
aquifier?

I'd think if they'd just pool together could buy a used trailer
for the tank and surely somebody has a PU to pull it?
WOuldn't take long to make up for the repeated truck rental.

Can a typical trailer hold 1,000 gallons (8,000 pounds)?
Can a pickup pull that up a windy 9% grade for about 5 miles?

CY: I'd doubt that weight. You'd have to find some
one and check their owners manual for that spec.
Might need towing package, and transmission cooler,
and all that.


If so, that's a good idea, since the truck rental is the
largest cost. The water itself is practically free.

Of course, we'd also need a pump...

CY: Pump for what? Sounds like you use hydrant pressure
to fill the tank, and gravity to drain the tank into
someone's well.
