It seems fairly normal that utilities such as gas and oil need to be delivered. But water? In Chennai, yes. Due to a combination of poor sanitation and depletion of reservoirs, many people in Chennai have water delivered -- including us. We're not talking those water cooler jugs. We're talking tanker trucks.
Here's a small tanker. And a standard one.
Similar to an oil delivery, the water truck pulls up and hooks in.
The trucks are colorful, almost like giant toys roaming the streets of Chennai. Spinning a desperate situation into a fun one?
Wow. So that's for drinking, bathing, everything? How long does a "tank" last??
