Well on Wheels, out of Justice (about 20mi. east of Rivers), has historically been my go-to during dry times.

That's who I was using, he's not doing it anymore. Thank you anyway.

Have you tried Gill's?

Do you know he hauls water or is that a well thought out suggestion? Regardless, it's a good suggestion, I never thought to try him.

Hauls potable water for wells, would be worth giving them a call. 204-578-5291

I couldn't remember if he did or not. I know he has septic trucks and such. Was just giving as an idea. Normally when people are in a similar business and they can't do it they usually can recommend someone who can.

I know I’m off topic.  
Don’t know any of these people but smiles thinking of wife’s emotions if she saw a septic service hauling potable water.  
 
Thanks for the smile

From what I’ve been told the price has almost doubled from what well on wheels charged.

yup, the price more than doubled for me. From $100 to $213. I found somebody in Rapid City that will haul to me for $120. I don't have his number handy right now, but I will post it when I get home.

the problems when comparing the 2 prices is the fact that a single person running a small business out of their house with 1, maybe 2 employees is they can charge a lot lower price cause they have much smaller overhead. I used to manage a business that had huge overhead cause we were a national company with over 800 employees just in Canada alone. We could not compete with the smaller 1-4 unit/employee companies prices cause my cost not only paid for that 1 unit and employee it also paid a portion of everything else. But what the smaller companies couldn't compete with, was when the client was in trouble cause they forgot to call for the service we provided till last second I typically could provide them the service without delay (without additional cost for emergency call outs). Or if they needed specialized service, I had another 799 employees I could rely on for that specialized service. Unfortunately for the bigger business that isn't noticed until the client is in trouble, cause they forgot to call. So in this case, you may be paying more for your water with the new company, but if/when you run dry the bigger more expensive company probably will be able to supply your water quicker than the 1 truck guy that is already doing 5 other cisterns in his area that day and they won't get to you till next week.  
But that is the joys of business and competition, you the client can go with anyone you want for a cheaper price.

It sounds like the OP got the answer they were seeking, so thread will be closed.
