Where do I get water?

Often, the event location will have a water source on location. You can simply run a food grade hose directly to the WaterMonster tank, or you can fill your truck tank and drive to where you want to setup the WaterMonster tank. If the event doesn’t have a water source, Contact your local water utility company.
