Safe Potable Water

Water from our bulk water stations is safe for personal uses such as filling pools, filling cisterns. It is also available for commercial and agricultural use. The water stations employ modern technology and safe equipment such as backflow prevention devices to protect against contamination during filling and loading.

Safe Off-Road Access for Trucks & Trailers

Each bulk water dispensing site has been chosen to provide safe access for large trucks and trailers. The driveway at each site is designed to handle farm trucks, trailers, and tractor-trailer tankers with plenty of driveway turning radius.

Buy Water in Bulk

• Water costs $12 per 1,000 gallons purchased. Quantities less than 1,000 gallons will be billed at $12.

Billing

Your account is billed monthly, with all bills due by the middle of the following month. Bulk water bills are generally due around the 8th of every month.

Accounts will be billed a late fee if paid past the due date.

A one-time new customer fee of $25.00 is added to the first or second bill.

The District’s fill station has a 3-inch male Camlock fitting. Each hauler is responsible to adapt their equipment to fit the District’s outlet using a 3-inch female cam-lock fitting.

Your vehicle must be plumbed with an air gap with prior inspection by District personnel.  Your equipment air gap needs to be 2 times the diameter of the fill pipe. For example, if the fill pipe is 3-inches, your air gap needs to be 6-inches or more. Also, all water hauling tanks/equipment must be inspected yearly to continue utilizing the fill terminals.

Air Gap Examples

The following photos display tanks with an air gap 2 times the diameter of the pipe:
