"a tank truck that hauled water around the clock, seven days a week for more than a year before the compound had its own well"
I get from that that it took them a _freaking year_ to put a well in, and until the well was put in, they were trucking water in via a tanker truck. I'm more than a little mystified as to why it would take a year to put a well in, and why anyone would move into a place _before_ the well was in.
And while I'm at it, they're delinquent on 2008 and 2009 taxes according to the article.

And how does importing water make a well (as opposed to, say, a cistern)? Or is the reporter just not paying attention to the difference?
