Once you find a good supplier, treat them like gold. If they show up early, tip them or at least say thanks. I keep a bottle of cold Gatorade in my fridge for my water guy, and he always gives me a slight discount now. It’s weird, but it works.
Sign up for their regular delivery schedule if you can. Many suppliers offer a subscription service for homes with cisterns or rural properties. That way, you never have to panic-call on a Sunday again. Plus, it usually comes with a price break.
And finally, review them online—good or bad. Your 3-sentence review could save another desperate soul from a muddy trickle and a judgmental dog. You’re welcome in advance.
