Cisterns come in all shapes and sizes for use above ground or buried below ground and out of sight. Capturing free rainwater from your roof and other surfaces and storing it to be used for irrigation, drinking, or additional purposes makes sense in our high desert climate.
Here are some examples of cisterns The RainCatcher has installed ranging from hundreds of gallons to many thousands of gallons in capacity. Give us a call for a free consultation to explore possibilities for storing your property’s rainwater in a heavy-duty above ground or below ground cistern.
