Vactor trucks and other big trucks have been parallel parking along side the Meredith town docks, close to the docked Meredith Police boat and NH Fish and Game boat, at the Mount Washington dock in Meredith for years and years and years to fill their water tank with lake water. There's a shallow sandy bottom lake area between Rt 3 and the wood town dock with water depths of one to two feet where various trucks stop and load it up with lake water via their hose and gasoline pump.

Has probably been happening for one hundred years and longer? Lake Winnipesaukee holds 75-billion gallons of lake water, all sloshing around out there, so why not!

The price is right ....... free water ..... and free easy parallel parking for one big truck where the sign says "No Parking" so there's usually no hassle with parked cars blocking the lake water, pump out access. Cars that park there can probably get a $75-ticket.
