Water density varies with temperature, so the weight of one gallon of water can actually change.

https://www.convertunits.com/from/gallon/to/cubic+feet

1 gallon = 0.133680555556 cubic feet

At 212 degrees Fahrenheit (the boiling point of water), the weight of water is 59.843 pounds per cubic feet:

1 gallon of water [212 deg] = 8 lbs

At 32 degrees Fahrenheit (the freezing point of water), the weight of water is 62.416 lbs/(ft^3):

1 gallon of water [32 deg] = 8.34 lbs
