Your storage is empty — or getting there fast
When a well can't keep up, or there's no well at all, hauled water fills the gap. We deliver to cisterns, holding tanks, livestock troughs, and construction sites across seven counties, up to 75 miles from Weston. Scheduled fills, one-time deliveries, and situations that just can't wait — this page covers all of it.

Why people call
The water ran out, or you can see it's about to
Most calls we get aren't a surprise — the signs were there for days. Here's what usually tips people over to picking up the phone.
What's included
What water delivery covers
Delivery is one piece. Making sure it lands in the right place, at the right time, without damaging what's already there — that's the rest of the job.
-
Cistern fills
We fill buried and above-ground cisterns through the access port. We check that the vent and overflow are clear before we start so nothing backs up or overflows. If you're not sure of your tank's capacity, we can estimate it from the dimensions.
-
Scheduled fill service
If your property runs on hauled water year-round, a standing schedule means you're not calling in a panic when the gauge hits the bottom. We set a frequency based on your usage and adjust it seasonally. See the scheduled fill service page for details.
-
Holding tank delivery
Above-ground poly tanks and steel holding tanks are filled the same way as cisterns. We match the fill rate to the tank's inlet so there's no pressure surge.
-
Emergency water delivery
When the well goes down unexpectedly or the cistern runs dry mid-week, we can often fit a delivery in on short notice. The emergency delivery page covers what to expect and how to reach us outside normal hours.
-
Livestock and construction water
Large-volume delivery for troughs, portable tanks, dust suppression, and construction mixing. Quantities and scheduling are different from household delivery — the livestock and construction page goes into that specifically.
-
Potable water only
All water we deliver for household and drinking use is potable — tested and safe for consumption. If you need non-potable water for irrigation or construction, we'll sort that out when you call so the right truck shows up.
We work from your storage tank or cistern to the building envelope — interior plumbing, fixtures, water heaters, and drains are outside our scope, and we don't drill wells.
Before you call — or when you call
Check these things first, cheapest to most involved
Not every empty tank means you need a delivery. Run through this list and you may solve it before we ever talk.
-
Check the float valve on the cistern
A stuck or failed float valve will let a full cistern drain right back out, or keep it from filling even when the well is running. It's a small part and the cheapest thing on this list to replace. If the valve is stuck open, water may be bleeding off continuously without any visible leak.
-
Check whether the well pump is actually running
If the pump lost power — a tripped breaker, a burned fuse, a failed pressure switch — the cistern or tank will empty out even though the well itself is fine. Reset the breaker and listen for the pump to kick on. If it won't start, that's a pump service call, not a delivery call.
-
Check how fast the well is recovering
A well that's slow to recover will drain the storage side faster than it refills it during heavy-use periods. Running a single fixture at low flow for an hour and watching whether pressure holds can tell you a lot. A recovering well may just need a day of light use — a delivery bridges that gap cheaply compared to a pump upgrade.
-
Schedule a one-time delivery to restore service
If the storage is genuinely empty and the cause is known or is being repaired, a delivery gets the household back on line today. This is almost always less expensive than diagnosing and fixing a supply-side problem on an emergency timeline.
-
Set up scheduled delivery if hauled water is the long-term plan
If the property has no well, a low-yield well, or a seasonal situation, scheduled fills cost less per visit than one-off emergency calls and mean you're never caught empty. This is the right answer for many rural properties in this area.
-
Address the underlying supply problem
If the well is consistently underperforming and delivery is masking it, that's worth looking at — a pump resized for the well's actual yield, or a larger storage tank, can reduce or eliminate delivery costs over time. We don't drill wells, which means we'll tell you honestly whether the fix is something we do or whether it's a driller conversation.

Why the cheap answer is safe to give
We can afford to tell you it is the cheap part
Not because we are nicer than the next outfit. Because of how this business is built — and all three of these are checkable.
-
No rig to keep busy
A drilling rig is the most expensive thing a water contractor can own, and it has to stay working to pay for itself. We do not own one. A new well is not on our list of answers, because we could not drill it if we wanted to.
-
We are a dealer, not a manufacturer
Authorized dealer — that is where the five-year equipment warranty comes from. We do not build pumps and we do not carry a quota on them. A pump we talk you out of costs us nothing.
-
A wrong diagnosis comes back to us
One year on labor and materials means we are the ones who drive back out if the fix does not hold. Guessing expensive is not only dishonest here — it is expensive for us.
None of that is a claim about our character. You do not have to take our word for any of it — the license, the association memberships and the warranty terms are all verifiable, and they are the same on paper as they are on this page.
Questions we get asked
Before you call
A round number is fine when you call — we can work backward from your tank size and how empty it is. For a buried cistern, the diameter and depth give us the volume. If you're not sure, tell us what you've got and we'll figure it out together before the truck rolls.
All household and potable deliveries are from a tested, approved source. If you're ordering for construction or dust control, let us know — that water comes from a different source and costs less, but it's not for drinking or cooking.
Call us and describe it — length, grade, surface, any low clearance. We've been working rural southern Colorado for 15 years and most driveways aren't a problem. If the truck genuinely can't get in, we'll tell you before we schedule, not after we get stuck.
We need a clear access port to fill safely. If you've lost track of it, start by looking for a PVC riser pipe coming up through the ground, usually within a few feet of the house foundation. If you can't locate it, let us know — we've helped people find buried lids before and we can walk you through what to look for.
A delivery to your existing cistern or holding tank is usually the right answer. Tell us the tank size and roughly how many people are in the house, and we can size the delivery to cover you through the repair. If you're also working with another contractor on the well repair, we're used to coordinating around that.
That points to a yield or storage mismatch rather than a delivery situation. The well is probably recovering, just not fast enough for heavy use. Take a look at our page on wells that run dry after heavy use — it walks through the common causes in order of cost. Delivery can help short-term while you sort out what's actually happening.
Yes. Large-volume delivery for troughs and portable tanks is a different kind of job than a household cistern fill — the quantities, scheduling, and sometimes the water source are different. The livestock and construction water page covers how that works.
We don't. No rig, no drilling. That's deliberate — it means we have no reason to push you toward a new well when something cheaper will do the job. If you get to the point where a driller is the right call, we'll tell you that plainly and let you find one independently.

Before we arrive
Four things to have ready when you call
The more you can tell us upfront, the faster we can get you scheduled and make sure the right truck shows up.
- Tank type and approximate size. Buried cistern, above-ground poly, steel holding tank — and your best guess at the capacity or dimensions. Even a rough estimate helps us size the load correctly.
- Access point location. Where is the fill port or riser, and can a truck get within a reasonable distance of it? If the driveway is long or rough, describe it — we'd rather know ahead of time.
- Whether the water is for drinking or another use. Potable household water and non-potable construction or irrigation water come from different sources. Knowing this before we schedule means the right truck shows up the first time.
- Your address or nearest intersection. We cover seven counties up to 75 miles from Weston. A cross street or county road number is often more reliable out here than a street address, especially if GPS doesn't find you reliably.
If you don't have all of this, call anyway — we can usually work through it together on the phone.
Tell us what the water is doing.
We’ll tell you what it usually turns out to be, what it will take to confirm it, and what it costs — before we touch anything.
