Welcome back to the Rachel Gibson, REALTOR® podcast series. Todays' topic is about hauling water.

Living in the Mohave Desert presents unique challenges, but managing water doesn't have to be one of them. Hauling water here is straightforward, affordable, and incredibly efficient.

For just 50 cents, you can fill 60 gallons of water. With a 250-gallon tank, you can easily collect a significant amount each trip. Whether you use a truck or other creative methods, this solution fits seamlessly into your routine.

Once home, transfer the water into your 2,500-gallon holding tank. This tank is connected to your plumbing and watering systems, providing filtered water that’s even better than standard tap water.

With this setup, you can use the water for bathing, drinking, and even filling your pool. It’s a versatile solution that ensures you always have access to clean water for various needs.

If hauling water yourself isn’t an option, private companies can deliver around 2,000 gallons for approximately $120 to $150, depending on your location. This service adds convenience for those who prefer not to handle it personally.

Living with hauled water teaches you to be efficient with your usage. Simple changes, like turning off the shower while lathering up or using low-flow toilets, can save thousands of gallons annually.

Avoid letting water run unnecessarily and be mindful of your consumption. With a 2,500-gallon tank, thoughtful water management ensures that every drop goes a long way.

In the Mohave Desert, managing water efficiently is key to thriving in this environment. By hauling water affordably and practicing smart water use, you can make every drop count.
