Default How to truck 1,000 gallons of potable water to a residence

Do you have experience or ideas for trucking potable water to a residence?

We haven't had rain in a year or so, and some of my neighbor's wells are running
dry. They asked me to figure out an efficient way to get water to them because
the bulk water delivery companies are really lousy on service & costs.

The San Jose Water Company sells water out of the fire hydrants at $2.70 per
CCF (i.e., $2.71 per 748 gallons) after we rent a "portable meter", either a
1-inch portable meter (output is a male 3/4-inch garden hose thread) at
$29.48/month, or a 3-inch portable meter (output is a male 2-1/2 inch firehose
thread) at $176.98 a month.

Cut rest.

Farmers in my area apply NH3 for corn fertilizer. It's not unusual
for them to pull a couple 1000 gallon NH3 trailers behind a pickup.

You could buy just the running gear then mount your own tank.
