What are the alternatives to traditional domestic water systems?
I’m looking at a piece of property that lacks the space for both a septic system and a well. It is rumoured that city water lines will be run to the property within 10 years, but in the meantime, are there any practical, cost-effective alternatives to well water? I was thinking about water storage tanks for domestic use and rainwater collection cisterns for greywater usage. Would having potable water delivered to the tanks via tanker truck be cost-prohibative? Has anyone out there put some sort of alternative system in place?
sounds like yu have looked at all the options

There is no alternative system and trucking the water in and keeping it potable for human consumption will be very expensive. Also, your local health and building department may not even allow you to occupy the home without a source of running potable water. Check your local laws and codes on this. All homes usually have to have an effective sewage/septic system and clean water source. Don’t count on the city water being there in ten years either.It may never happen.
