Rainwater Tanks
Summers in Masterton can be hot and dry, and often water restrictions are in place. Collecting and re-using rainwater is one of the easiest ways to reduce your overall water usage.
Installing a rainwater tank at your home will also help you get prepared for when the unexpected happens. Water supplies could be affected in an emergency. We recommend that each household in Masterton has a supply of stored water that can last for three days or more.
Rainwater Tanks
Masterton Distrct Council currently offers 200-litre rainwater tanks from The Tank Guy. They are available to Masterton residents at a discounted rate of $125.00 each. These tanks can be purchased from our Customer Service Centre at 161 Queen Street, Masterton.
The 200-Litre rainwater tanks are suitable for garden watering and as an emergency water supply.
- Suitable for 1-2 person households
- Provides rainwater for a small garden during the year
- In an emergency, the water can be used to flush toilets and drink – once boiled or treated
- Rainwater tanks must be placed near a downpipe. You will need to do some base preparation before installing a water tank. The 200L rainwater tanks are designed to sit on top of a smooth, level and flat concrete surface or flat compacted ground or paving. Where used, a concrete slab must be of sufficient thickness and suitably reinforced to support the weight of the tank when full (210kg).
