Cistern Water Delivery

Or call (740) 264-9999

Scheduled cistern fills from a municipal source — before the tank runs dry.

A lot of Ohio Valley property still drinks from a cistern. Hills, old wells, and houses off the municipal tap are normal here. Water Transport has filled those tanks since 1977, first with a converted milk truck and the same sanitation habits used in dairy work.

Household loads come from the Wintersville load station, supplied by the Jefferson County Water & Sewer District. That is treated municipal water — not a pond, not an unmarked spring, not a creek pull. If the tank is for drinking, cooking, and bathing, say so when you call so dispatch keeps the ticket potable end to end.

Drivers already know the steep lanes off State Route 22, the tight yards around Bloomingdale and Hopedale, and how to drop a hose without tearing up a lawn. Tell us about gates, grade, overhead lines, and how close a tanker can sit. We will pick a unit that can reach the property.

Do not wait until the pump sucks air. Call when the tank is low. Residential fills run during office hours, Monday through Friday 9 to 5. If the tank is empty and a truck is free, we will work an emergency drop.

Many cistern accounts also keep a cooler in the kitchen. Purified and distilled bottled water can ride on the same local account. One company for the tank and the cooler.
