Our polyethylene below ground plastic cisterns are ideal for instances when drinking water must be hauled in, or if a well just doesn’t meet consumption needs. These tanks are rotationally molded using 100% virgin resin which meets FDA specifications for potable water. Our 325 and 550 gallon cistern spheres are designed to remain in the ground when empty. These plastic tanks include a molded in elevated pump stand on the bottom of the tank. The ribbed cistern tanks need to be kept 1/4 full at all times. Manhole extensions and lid/risers are available.
