How much water will I use?
An average 14,000 litre water tank will last a family of four between 4 and 6 weeks. Water usage will increase with heated pools, garden and lawn irrigation, teenagers and increased summer usage.
Can you fill pools or dams?
Yes, we regularly fill dams and pools of all sizes.
Can you do dust suppression on a dirt road or wash off my driveway?
Yes, the trucks are fitted with equipment for spraying water, so we can complete dust suppression works on construction sites, horse arenas and domestic properties.
How much notice should I give you?
It depends on the tank size, but we suggest ordering when you have roughly a quarter of your water remaining. Letting a tank run empty forces debris into pump filters and can cause issues re-priming pumps. During summer there can be a waiting list, so get in early!
Do you transport salt water or rain water?
No, our trucks only transport food grade potable drinking water.
Do you clean tanks?
We do not clean tanks, but we can recommend local tank cleaners we work with regularly.
How do the tank sensors work?
A sensor on your tank sends data through the mobile network. We check this data daily and refill your tanks when they get low.
Can I take the sensor when I move house?
Yes, we will move and recalibrate the sensor for you. If you no longer want the service, we will remove it.
Can I see the sensor data too?
The data display is only sent to Foreshore Water, but we can add you to the alert chain so you get text or email notifications when your tank hits set levels.
