Starting a Water Supply Business

Match the truck to the water service

Start with water source, intended use, delivery locations, route length and the number of trips expected per day. Potable-water service needs additional material and hygiene checks before a build is specified.

Check operating economics locally

Use current prices for water, fuel, labour, permits, maintenance and financing. Confirm demand and payment terms with customers before ordering.
