    Check with a local plumbing supply for polyethelene cisterns. Also you may be able to use a plastic (or concrete) clean septic tank.

    : I saw on television recently a segment on a rain water tank suitable for use in suburban settings which captured rain water from the guttering system and stored it in an unobtrusive plastic tank.: The water stored was used for drinking in that story but I just want to water a garden with it.: Does anyone have any information?

Darn if I can remember the term they use for this but I bet you could do some web searches and find info on it in Australia. I saw it and thought the concept was great for lawn/garden. Many over there think it is THE BEST drinking water.Try keywords: Cistern Australia Rain Water Tank but I cant recall the term they use, sorry.

    I am looking for a cistern for my basement to replace a well. The cistern I am looking for is a collapsable poly bag. Do you know where I might find one? : : : : : : : : : I saw on television recently a segment on a rain water tank suitable for use in suburban settings which captured rain water from the guttering system and stored it in an unobtrusive plastic tank.: : : : : The water stored was used for drinking in that story but I just want to water a garden with it.: : : : : Does anyone have any information?: : : : 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888: : : : This is VERY very common in Austraila on their ranches.

    Have a look at our Web site- Devan.co.nz over 10,000 of these tanks are sold annually in New Zealand(pop. 3.5million), it is a very common source of storage if you dont live in the city you have to have a tank. Even in the city alot of people have plastic tanks, the rain water is definately better than other sources!
