First Purchases

Today, the biggest part of the rainwater harvesting system was purchased. Two 3,000 gallon cisterns were ordered from National Tank Outlet in Memphis, Tennessee. With the help of their staff, the proper inlets and outlets for the design will be added to each prefabricated cistern. Having this big purchase out of the way has allowed the system to be pushed forward at a great speed that will hopefully allow the completion date to be somewhere in December of this year.

Along with purchasing the cisterns, items required to create and lay the concrete slab needed for the two cisterns, have been purchased and work on the slab is to be conducted on this Saturday and Sunday, October 17th and 18th.

With the installation of the pad and the arrival of the cisterns, piping will soon follow along with the other components of the system, including, the pump, the purification system, and the pressure bladder.
