Why Landscapers and Homeowners Choose Gasaway Maintenance Company
1. High-Volume, Clean Municipal Water
We deliver only fresh municipal water. Unlike well water or untreated sources, our water is free of the minerals and sediment that cause cloudy, "soft," or brittle ice. This ensures a harder, clearer skating surface that lasts all season.
2. Specialized 650-Foot Hose Reach
Don't worry about truck access ruining your lawn or landscaping. Our fleet is equipped with up to 650 feet of hose, allowing us to reach backyard rinks from the street or driveway with ease.
3. Precision Layering & Temperature Control
Proper ice requires "lift-based" filling. Our drivers coordinate with your team to deliver water in controlled layers. Note: To ensure a smooth, even freeze without air pockets, we typically schedule deliveries when temperatures are slightly above freezing, allowing the water to settle before the hard freeze sets in.

FAQs
How much water do I need for my ice rink?
The general formula for estimating water volume is:
Gallons = Rink Length × Width × Depth (in feet) × 7.48
A standard 20' x 40' rink with 4 inches of ice requires approximately 2,000 gallons of water. Our team can help you calculate the exact volume based on your rink's dimensions.
| Example Rink Size | Average Depth | Approx. Gallons |
| 20' × 40' Backyard Rink | 0.15 ft (2" - 2.5”) | ~1000 gallons |
| 40' × 80' Community Rink | 0.15 ft (1.8") | ~4,000 gallons |
| 60' × 100' Park District Rink | 0.2 ft (2.4") | ~9,000 gallon |
Does Gasaway Maintenance Company offer emergency ice resurfacing?
Yes, we provide bulk water for mid-season resurfacing if your ice has thinned or cracked due to weather fluctuations.
How quickly can Gasaway Maintenance Company fill my rink?
Most small to medium rinks can be filled within a few hours. Larger commercial rinks may require multiple loads, but our dispatch team coordinates deliveries to minimize downtime.
How do I plan for ice rink water delivery?
- Ensure the rink base is flat and level.
- Clear a driveway or street-access point for our delivery hose (no residential driveways).
- Make sure all rink boards and liners are securely in place.
- Plan for temperatures below freezing within 24 hours of delivery to allow proper freezing.
Can you deliver water for Zamboni tanks?
Yes. We supply bulk water for indoor ice-making equipment, resurfacing tanks, and fire suppression systems at arenas or rinks.
The water totes and periodic water fill-ups have really helped keep our project on schedule since we do not have running water on-site. Thank you for the great service!
