The Norwesco 1000 Gallon Green vertical water storage tank is the California-market SKU for water buyers who need durable bulk storage and a clean fit on a standard pad. This is the green-tinted version offered for California only, molded in polyethylene at a 1.0 specific gravity rating, which means it is sized for water and other contents at the weight of water. It stands 80 inches tall on a 64-inch-diameter round footprint and holds 1,000 gallons in a compact vertical profile that works for rural water storage, irrigation supply, and emergency and fire-water reserve on private property.
Will this Norwesco 1000 gallon vertical tank work for my site?
Use the published dimensions to plan the install before it ships. The tank is a 64-inch-diameter cylinder with an 80-inch overall height, giving you a 64.0 x 64.0-inch footprint to lay out your pad and overhead clearance. Filled to capacity with water, the contents weigh 8,340 pounds, which is the maximum rated contents weight for this 1.0 specific-gravity tank, so the pad and the ground underneath have to carry that full load over a 64-inch circle. Design the pad and any tie-downs for the full 8,340 lb, not the empty tank you will receive. For pad design, our Concrete Pad Sizing for Above-Ground Polyethylene Tanks guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework. If you are still deciding between sizes, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match gallons to draw rate and refill schedule. See the technical drawing on this page for fitting placement and detailed measurements.
What is this tank good for?
A 1,000-gallon vertical storage tank in this footprint is a common choice for hauled or well-fed water storage, livestock and irrigation supply, and on-site reserves. For fire and emergency reserve planning on rural and remote properties, the Fire-Water Reservoir Tank Design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection where the polyethylene tank fits into the broader system. If you are aggregating grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate for reuse, the Industrial Water Reuse Tank Topology guide maps where a vertical bulk tank like this belongs in a quality-banded storage train.
The mistake to avoid
This tank carries a 1.0 specific-gravity rating, meaning it is rated for the weight of water. Do not assume that rating covers heavier liquids; contents denser than water exceed what this tank is built to hold safely. If your application calls for a heavier liquid, call 866-418-1777 and we will help you spec a higher specific-gravity tank instead. It is also the green California-only version, so confirm it matches what your project specifies before you order.
Because this is the California-market SKU, it ships LTL freight from the Norwesco plant in Hanford, CA, the nearest named shipping point, which keeps the haul short for in-state buyers. Freight is quoted live to your ZIP. Get your exact rate with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will help you lock in the right tank and freight for your site.
