Bulk Water Delivery for Chicagoland Festivals, Fairs, Parades & Event Sites
Planning a special event often means securing a reliable water source, especially when hydrants, hoses, or onsite hookups aren’t available. Gasaway Maintenance Company provides special event water delivery across the Chicago area and surrounding Illinois communities, helping organizers keep sites running smoothly from setup through teardown.
Our water delivery solutions support a wide range of events, including festivals, fairs, farmers’ markets, sports tournaments, holiday parades, product demonstrations, church functions, and company gatherings. If your venue has limited water access, we’ll help you plan the right delivery volume and timing.
We also specialize in bulk water for event barricades, safety barrels, and traffic control.

FAQs
Can you fill ballast barrels for large festival tents?
Definitely. This is one of our most common requests. We can fill hundreds of ballast barrels quickly to meet the structural safety requirements for large-scale outdoor setups.
How much water is needed for a standard tent ballast barrel?
A standard drum requires approximately 55 gallons of water to reach full weight (roughly 460 lbs). We can fill hundreds of these barrels in a single site visit.
Is your water safe for hand-washing stations?
Yes. We use municipal water that meets the standards required for hand-washing and general sanitation at public gatherings.
Do you provide water for drinking stations?
No, but we deliver municipal water suitable for filling non-potable storage tanks or misting stations.
How far in advance should I schedule event water?
For large festivals or multi-day events, we recommend scheduling about a week in advance. However, we do offer quick dispatch for last-minute needs depending on fleet availability.
