wasting water in WalCo

I assume you didn't mean you wanted a 240-gallon tank; there is nothing discreet about a tank that large...?

Scary, but yes -240 gallons.

I actually ran some calculations once and determined that given the size of my roof I could fill that up with 1/2 inch of rainfall.

Makes you realize how much water goes to waste just running off your roof

Wow--that's a big tank!

Have you thought about putting it in the ground and sticking a pump in it, then?

My FIL had one of those wooden barrels to collect rainwater and quite often an animal would sneak in and drown. We bought him something like this.

This site also has lots of tips for conserving water.

I found these convenient collection barrels earlier, it is a possible solution to my goal, but they are still a little small so I would need a lot.

Figured I would explore the giant steel tank option first because I don't do anything the easy way, lol.

That sounds a bit expensive/complicated. A 200 gallon tank isn't really all that big.

Here is the one I was looking at :

Only 31" in diameter and 72" Tall.

I may just get it and build some sort of screen around it.

I'm only 64" tall (we won't talk about my diameter.)

Paint is a beautiful thing. If you can't find the plastic-fusing type, you could always use a primer.

Where did you find that one?

The Tank Depot. No folks that isn't a joke.

Other sites had plans where you constructed your own tank out of a section of metal culvert.

If you find a big enough one contact Wyland, could be the next whaling wall.

As someone who splits their time between Grayton Beach and North Georgia, I'm interested in just where South Walton County gets its water. Can anyone fill me in?
