OK, thanks.......

We had a cistern that is 15' by 15' by 12' high. We have never run out in the dry yet. We know to conserve heavy in the dry and have low volume flush toilets, old style wringer washers and such. That was where we used to live for several years. I am planning to build one the same at our new house. Above or below ground depends on how much space on your lot. I cannot build below ground here as my watertable is too high.

lacysisland / Put a note on your computer monitor that says, "Do Not Drink and Post." I'm not trying to be mean. I speak from experience. Before I quit drinking, I had a note taped to my telephone that said, "Do Not Drink and Dial." It saved me from some embarrassment.

Thanks Pam & Dave, Great advice.

Work on 100 Gal per family of 3 minimum per day.

Just do not include washing clothes with that figure.

If your land will support a well your could have your plumber hook you up with a dual system...use the well for flushing toilets and watering the plants, the rain tank for everything else.
