Everyone has 10,000 or 15,000 gallon tanks of water. Most have two
or three large tanks. I don't think anyone doesn't have a tank or
three. So, that's where the water would be stored.

Why on earth would you need that much capacity?

If you have a well system that *normally* doesn't run dry, then why
would you need so much storage capacity for potable water?

And how would you keep the tanks clean enough (and the water clean
enough) to drink or cook with so much stored water?

What exactly is this water used for? Household stuff?

With that much capacity, you might look into a bigger delivery
truck. I mean, if you had a 5,000 gal truck, you could split the
water off, and deliver some water to two or three houses at same
time. OTOH, 5,000 is a LOT of weight and would probably be the
size of a semi trailer.

I thought the point of this whole thing was to rent a single water meter
and an inexpensive transportation system to convey the water to multiple
people. If a large truck + tank would cost 10 times as much as a
smaller tank on a trailer pulled by your own PU, then maybe a few round
trips to each person with the smaller tank would still end up costing
less than dragging around the 5k gallon truck.
