This afternoon I got my first load of truck water delivered from Oakland for this year costing $90 for 2300 gallons. The last load of water was last October for $75. The high cost of fuel is what caused the price increase and the further the delivery from Oakland the higher the cost. He has one customer in Scottsburg that requires two loads a month at $200 per load or $400 for the month.
This morning I read in the news that many communities in Arizona are running low on water and many wells in rural areas are going dry. Bulk water deliveries are common there and some communities are thinking of cutting off these water trucks because of the water supply issue. How much longer before this happens here?
