Where would this water come from?

The water would come from the water treatment plant. My understanding is this is an outflow pipe from the water treatment plan to the city of clean water. So the challange is to get water from the water treatment facility to the storage locations so it can bypass the broken section. If this is wrong then trucking wouldn’t fix it.
As for the trucks the question isn’t are there 100 trucks standing idle. The question is are there 100 trucks that are doing less important things that could be paid to suspend what they are doing.
Trucking is expensive though like $10 a cube so about $1 million per day and let’s say you need to pay double to get them to stop the regular activity.
You also don’t need to do the full amount. If you truck half the amount you double your reserve life. I’ve done this at 1/20th the scale for a different commodity. If you put the required resources to it could be done.
