The 1000 Gallon Plastic Water Storage Tank from Norwesco stands 80 inches tall on a 64-inch diameter footprint and holds a full 1000 gallons in a black, UV-stabilized polyethylene shell. The black resin blocks light to slow algae growth in stored water, and the vertical storage tank design keeps the footprint compact for tight pads, corners, and equipment yards. If you are sizing water storage for a home, farm, ranch, or jobsite, this is a mainstream 1000 gallon capacity that balances volume against a manageable diameter.
Will it work for your site?
Filled to capacity, this tank carries 8,340 pounds of water - that is the full contents load your foundation has to hold, and the single biggest planning error on a tank this size is setting it on soft, unlevel, or unprepared ground. Build a flat, fully supporting base, typically a reinforced concrete pad or a compacted, leveled sand bed, so the entire bottom is uniformly supported. Confirm your inlet and outlet plumbing against the technical drawing on this page before you commit the pad layout - the fitting and outlet locations are shown there - and check the 64-inch diameter against any doorway or gate the tank has to clear, since it ships fully assembled. To confirm 1000 gallons actually covers your demand, run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide.
Not the tank you wanted?
Norwesco offers more than one 1000 gallon black tank, and the footprints are easy to confuse. This SKU is the 64" diameter x 80" tall version. There is also a taller, same-diameter 64" x 81" build and a wider, shorter 72" x 66" build. If your pad height or diameter clearance is tight, compare the buyer's guides for the 64 x 81 version and the 72 x 66 version to be sure you are ordering the dimensions your site needs.
Water service and specifications
This is a vertical water storage tank rated to a specific gravity of 1.0, which is the rating for water and water-like liquids. That 1.0 rating is the ceiling to respect: the 8,340 lb full-load figure assumes water-weight contents, so storing a liquid heavier than water would push past both the structural assumption and the SG rating. Keep it on water and water-like service. Common uses for a tank this size include rural and remote water supply, rainwater capture and reuse, and on-site reserves. For reservoir-style and fire-protection planning, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection, and our industrial water reuse topology guide covers grey-water, rainwater, and condensate aggregation.
Freight and ordering
This tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your delivery ZIP rather than rolled into the listed price. Norwesco molds this capacity at multiple plants - Fairfield, TX; Griffin, GA; Hanford, CA; Shawnee, OK; Tooele, UT; and Washougal, WA - and routing from the nearest one is the single biggest freight variable on an 8,340 lb-class tank. Enter your address in the Freight Cost Estimator to get a real number, and we will route your order from the closest plant to keep transit short.
