Regarding the cost, nowadays people spend $100k plus on a pool. Hardly will anyone balk at spending another $200-$300 for a one time fill.

I've not heard of anyone here getting pool water delivered by tanker, only by garden hose. I know that's what we did as it was the most cost effective way. Fill time for 15k gallons was about 16 hours, give or take
“Up North “ where we lived , it was common practice to do what Village Tinker suggested.

However , the fire department would put a meter in line and you would be required to pay for the water used from the hydrant.

Right or wrong, I don’t know . But I do know you can quickly fill a pool using the hydrant.

My pool was 16x35 ….
