Fresh water cisterns. Concrete? Plastic? Fiberglass? Pro's/Cons?
Need some advice from you acreage guys or farmer types please!
I'd like to get a new underground fresh water cistern for my acreage. Well water isn't great in my area, so I haul bulk water from town. What type is best? Plastic? Fiberglass? Concrete? I'm thinking of a tank between 1000-1500 gallons capacity.
When I moved in there was a well, but I wanted better water so I installed a 350 gal tank in my basement and haul water with a 270 gal tank in my 1 ton truck. I want a proper cistern so I can haul bigger loads, and less trips to the water station. The water is cheep, but the gas to get it adds up.
