Cost for pool water.
Does anyone have a recent price estimate for a tanker full of water to fill a swimming pool? I was just quoted $285 per truckload as part of an estimate for a liner replacement and pool refill. That seems to be a bit high in my opinion.

That is what I did the last time we did a complete liner replacement. Will probably do it again, but was just curious to see what the going rate is and if the $285 is an extremely jacked up price. If the freakin water is jacked up that high, I'm going to have to assume that the cost quote for my liner is jacked up as well.

That's what I heard from someone getting a new pool liner and refill. She said around $300 a truckload.

For that price, they'd better be pumping if from the fountain of youth! That is absurd!
