Water Bowser Hire in Reading, Berkshire
Need water bowser hire in Reading? Coppard supplies 250 and 500 gallon towable water bowsers for site water, dust suppression and other suitable non-mains water requirements. Call 0118 979 2828 with the intended use, approximate daily water requirement and whether a pump or spray bar is needed.
Coppard’s current water-bowser catalogue contains three towable configurations: a 250 gallon trailer, a 250 gallon trailer with a 1-inch water pump, and a 500 gallon trailer with a 1-inch water pump and spray bar.
Size the Bowser Around Water Use and Refill Frequency
A water bowser can be useful where water needs to be moved to the point of use for dust suppression, site cleaning, wheel-wash support or another suitable site requirement.
The right capacity depends on how the water will be applied, how quickly it will be used and how often the bowser can be refilled. A 250 gallon unit may suit a lower-volume requirement, while the 500 gallon bowser provides more capacity and is currently listed with both a pump and spray bar.
HSE guidance recognises water as an effective way to damp down construction dust when it is used correctly, but the water-control method should be planned around the actual dust source and work.
Call 0118 979 2828 with the intended use and expected water demand.

Water Bowser Hire for Reading Construction and Groundworks
Water bowsers can support construction, earthworks, landscaping and maintenance projects where a mobile water supply is required. Coppard can also supply excavators, dumpers and compaction equipment through its Reading operation, so the water requirement can be considered alongside the plant using it.
Whether dust controls are required, and which controls are appropriate, should be determined by the actual work and risk assessment rather than a blanket local planning statement.
Confirm Towing, Refill and Water-Quality Requirements
Before collection or delivery, confirm the bowser size, whether a pump or spray bar is required, the towing or delivery arrangement and where the bowser will be refilled during the hire.
Any water source needs to be authorised and suitable for the intended use. Do not state that customers may fill from a standpipe or hydrant without confirming the relevant permission and connection arrangement.
For welfare or drinking water use, do not use the hire bowser unless Coppard has confirmed that the exact container is suitable for potable water and the water will be stored and supplied without contamination. HSE welfare guidance states that drinking water must be available, clearly identified and protected from becoming stale or contaminated.
Call 0118 979 2828 to confirm the exact bowser and collection or delivery arrangement.

Frequently Asked Questions - Water Bowser Hire in Reading
What capacity water bowsers does Coppard currently hire?
Coppard’s current catalogue lists 250 gallon and 500 gallon towable water bowsers. The range includes a basic 250 gallon trailer, a 250 gallon unit with a 1-inch water pump and a 500 gallon unit with a 1-inch water pump and spray bar. Confirm current Reading stock when booking.
Do Coppard water bowsers come with a pump or spray bar?
Different configurations are listed. One 250 gallon bowser is supplied with a 1-inch pump, the 500 gallon bowser is listed with a 1-inch pump and spray bar, and the basic 250 gallon trailer is listed separately. Specify the required configuration when booking.
Can I use a Coppard water bowser for drinking water?
Do not assume that a hire bowser is certified for potable water. Coppard’s current product pages do not publish potable certification, and wording elsewhere on the site states that the bowsers are not certified potable-water containers. Only use an exact unit for drinking water if Coppard has confirmed its suitability and the water source and storage arrangement will keep the water wholesome and uncontaminated.
Can a water bowser help control construction dust?
Yes, where water suppression is appropriate for the task. HSE construction-dust guidance explains that water can damp down dust when it is used correctly and in sufficient quantity for the work. Tell Coppard’s Reading team how the water will be applied, the area involved and how often the bowser can be refilled so a practical capacity can be considered.
