I've found that dump stations usually charge a fee unless you are staying at their CG. I honestly don't remember if the dump station at DHP SP charges a fee, as we usually have the water system winterized by the time we go there in November. When we do stay in the Moab area (mostly BLM CG's), we take a couple of five gallon water jugs and top our tank off every day or two. There is a new parking area at the junction of UT 128 and US 191. I think I saw water spigots there this spring, but construction was just finishing up. Maybe someone else can comment on water availability there.
As for temps, we have hit some really high temps around 100 by the end of May, but the average then is closer to 90 degrees. Still hot, but "it's a dry heat". ;) Because it's the desert, it usually cools off nicely in the evening, say mid-50's that time of year. If it's a hot day, do your hiking early, find some shade or water mid-day (raft trip?), then continue your explorations in the late afternoon.
