- Certification
- Tank meets state and local health certification; labeled for potable use only
- Storage
- Food-grade poly tanks, trailers and bladders for camps and communities
A camp runs on water: drinking, cooking, handwashing, showers and laundry. Most camps have no water main, and after a hurricane the local system may be under a boil order. Potable water trucks fill the gap, hauling safe water from an approved source to the units in camp.
On wildfire, the resource is the Potable Water Truck (Tender), run with an operator and typed by tank size: Type 1 holds 4,000+ gallons, Type 2 2,500–3,999, Type 3 1,000–2,499 and Type 4 400–999. Every KDT tank meets state and local certification requirements, is labeled "POTABLE" or "FOR DRINKING WATER USE ONLY", and has no cross connection to any other system.
KDT runs trucks and tanks kept for drinking water only, never for wastewater or fire water. We fill from approved sources, keep fill logs, and schedule deliveries from your headcount and the units in camp, adjusting daily as people arrive and leave. For hurricane and flood response we also set storage tanks, bladders and towable water trailers, and community fill points where a town's system is down.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide potable water trucks?
Yes. We supply Type 1 to Type 4 potable water trucks with operators, plus storage tanks, dedicated to drinking-water service and delivering on a daily schedule.
What are the potable water truck types?
They're typed by tank size: Type 1 is 4,000+ gallons, Type 2 is 2,500–3,999, Type 3 is 1,000–2,499 and Type 4 is 400–999.
Is the same truck used for fire water or wastewater?
No. Our potable trucks and tanks stay in potable service only, labeled for drinking water, with no cross connection to other systems. Wastewater goes in separate gray water trucks.
What if there's no safe water source nearby?
We can haul from farther away, or after a hurricane or flood set up a mobile water purification unit on a local source.
