That said, FYI, in my experience the biggest sanitary (i.e., for potable water or other food-grade stuff) tank trailers (towed by a semi, as opposed to being directly on the truck chassis) are typically only 22-27 m³. So we're not talking 30-35 trucks, we're talking 75+ trucks per day doing 24/7 top-ups to provide an extra 10,000 m³. That's... a lot.

The one advantage trucks have is they should be able to put the water where they most need the pressure support. That would effectively increase the capacity of the system a little bit more as well.
