Frank, we also got lucky some 12 years ago when we had our pool put in and we have a fire hydrandt in our front yard. we made a small donation to the department and they came after hours and with one of their smaller hoses they filled the pool. . of course since then we have to add a few thousand gallons and also tap of f the pool much water. as you know as a above ground pool owner it never rains but pours. however as you also noted most water departments will work with you. we have a 52 inch by 33 foot pool and knock on wood we are still using the original liner.
