Wilson Water Haulage

This is the reality our drivers are dealing with right now on the daily. Frigid temperatures and water don’t mix well, and conditions like this slow everything down. Our drivers are de-icing trucks and equipment after every load to keep everything functioning safely.

There’s only so much that can be done in a day. Please plan ahead and conserve if need be. With very cold temperatures and more snow in the foreseeable forecast, delays may continue.

A big thank-you to everyone who’s planning ahead and being patient and understanding, we truly appreciate the support.

It’s a messy situation down the lake today.
We’re keeping a very close eye on conditions. With strong WSW winds combined with accumulated snow, many roads are currently impassable.

For everyone’s safety, we can’t attempt deliveries until we know conditions are safe. In the meantime, please stay home and off the roads so emergency and road crews can do their jobs.

We appreciate your patience and understanding and will share updates as conditions change.

🚧❄️ Strong winds and heavy snow have created hazardous conditions along the lakeshore. Lakeshore Rd is now closed between Hald‑Dunnville Townline Rd and the end of Haldimand Rd. 53/Erie St, along with all north–south roads leading to this stretch of Lakeshore off Rainham.

Residents within the impacted area are asked to stay home while crews work to clear significant blowing snow and drifts. Additional equipment is being brought in to assist.

❄️ Operations Update ❄️

Good morning! We have all hands on deck today, but due to ongoing conditions we are operating at a reduced capacity, as we anticipate things to move slower than usual. All delivery requests are being handled in the order they are received, and we truly appreciate everyone’s patience as our drivers work carefully and safely.

We’d also like to extend a big thank you to the road crews of Six Nations, Brant, Haldimand, and Norfolk who were out overnight clearing the roads. Their hard work makes it possible for essential services like ours to keep moving under tough conditions.

Please note that driveways must be cleared and accessible. If a driveway is not clear upon arrival, the delivery will not be attempted for safety.

Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and continued patience. Enjoy the snow day! ⛄️

This photo was taken just after 8 AM this morning when I stopped in to see our drivers at the water depot. The temperature was -27°C (-36°C with the windchill), and yet there they were - smiling and already hard at work. Neither of these guys were scheduled to be in today as neither of them usually work weekends, but they didn’t hesitate when I asked.

Weeks like this really put things into perspective, and I can’t let it come to an end without thanking our drivers. They all started early, stayed late, and came in on their days off - all through a polar vortex - to help us reach as many people as possible during incredibly challenging conditions.

We are so grateful for their dedication, teamwork, and willingness to push through long days to support our community when it matters most. Thank you for showing up, looking out for one another, and giving it your all.

We will be closed tomorrow and will assess road conditions Monday morning before confirming any Monday deliveries. We are working to get to everyone as quickly and as safely as possible, in the order calls were received. We truly appreciate your patience, understanding, and cooperation.

Wishing everyone a safe and warm weekend. 🩵🐳

❄️Winter Operations Update❄️

This winter has brought accumulating snowfall, record ice, and extreme cold. While we’re no strangers to tough conditions, this season has been especially nerve-racking.

These conditions don’t just slow us down on the roads - they slow every part of the job. Our drivers are trekking through deep snowdrifts, trying to locate buried cisterns, fighting with frozen lids, and maneuvering heavy, wet hoses in frigid temperatures. The cold is hard on our trucks and equipment, and just as hard on our guys operating them. They are rockstars.

When conditions become unsafe, we will pull our trucks off the road. Safety always comes first. We know that’s frustrating, but we’d rather have our trucks off the road than have a truck *off the road*. That call protects our drivers, our equipment, and everyone else sharing the road.

Between severe weather, poor road conditions, and storm-related power outages (which can temporarily shut down water depots), winter deliveries can take significantly longer than usual and may, at times, mean we are running behind. Please check your water levels regularly and plan ahead.

You can help us help you by making sure laneways and access points are clearly plowed and visible. If we can’t clearly see where your laneway is - or safely access it - we can’t deliver. If you have elderly family or neighbours, help them check their levels and clear snow when possible.

We truly appreciate your patience, understanding, and cooperation as we work to get water to everyone as quickly and as safely as possible. We’ll always do our best, but winter weather brings challenges that are simply beyond anyone’s control.

Stay warm and drive safe!

UPDATE: 1/16/26 - All trucks are out this morning working to get to everyone as quickly and as safely as we can. Please ensure driveways are clear. Thank you!

With snowfall continuing into this afternoon, we've made the decision to pause operations to prioritize the safety of our drivers, our customers, and everyone sharing the roads.

We will reassess conditions later this afternoon and tomorrow morning, and will post updates as they become available.

We’d also like to take this opportunity to remind customers to please ensure driveways and access points are cleared of snow and ice before scheduled deliveries, so our drivers can get in and out safely.

We appreciate your understanding and patience and will resume deliveries once conditions improve. Stay safe and warm out there! ❄️n ys

Today we honour National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day.

As a Six Nations owned business, we pause to remember the children who never made it home, the survivors, their families and communities.

Every Child Matters. 🧡

Week 2, with the new freight shaker, I couldn't be more happier. She runs and drives like a dream very smooth. She is truck #10. I would say this would be the last truck that I build but I said that at truck #08 so I'll never say, never. I've been very blessed over the past 25 years to have 10 awesome water trucks. And the pleasure of wearing out 7 of them.. Thanks to all the drivers and mechanics over all the years that helped me keep all these beauty's running, and thank you to all my customers for allowing me and yeah abling me to do this... What a ride keep on trucking?
