Water Barrels Are Still Availiable for Purchase

If you are interested in these water tanks, please contact Sara Fisk directly at sarafisk@gmail.com


The tanks are being ordered from Plastic Mart and coming from Texas. Here is a picture of what the 525 gal looks like- the others are similar. http://www.plastic-mart.com/class.php?item=3379

Here are the options:

270 gallon tank (31" dia. x 85"H): tank $170, shipping $68, spigot hole $20 TOTAL: $258

300 gallon tank (42" dia. x 57"H): tank $170, shipping $68, spigot hole $20 TOTAL: $258 (same price!)

525 gallon tank (45" dia. x 80"H) : tank $230 shipping $68 spigot hole $20 TOTAL: $318

550 gallon tank (64" dia. x 48"H) tank $230 shipping $68 spigot hole $20 TOTAL: $318 (same price!)

Please check the dimensions carefully to make sure the tank will fit where you want it to.

We are having each tank fitted with an additional pre-threaded bulkhead opening about 3/4 down on the tank into which we can screw a 3/4 standard spigot. Those can be purchased at Lowe's or Home Depot and each person will be responsible to do this on their own. This will make it very easy to put a bucket under the spigot to get the water out. The opening at the bottom can be used to drain the tank with or without the spigot, but it is an option to put one there as well. The bottom hole is 2" and will require two additional pipe fittings to reduce the size to 3/4 inch. This is not difficult to do and very inexpensive. This will be something that each person who buys a tank will be responsible for on their own; but there is a huge savings in doing so. We are getting a $20 saving per tank off their online sale price and a 1/2 price break in the shipping.

Once you decide that you want to order a tank I will collect money immediately. The tanks have to be ordered in groups of at least 25 to get the break in shipping, so I will wait until I have that minimum before placing the order. Tanks will all be delivered to one location and each person will be responsible to pick up their tank. There is no home-delivery option.

Please let me know if you have any questions; if you are ready to order please send me the details in an email. The next order will go in when we have the required number (25) of tanks to get the discounted shipping. Thanks
