The Norwesco 1000 Gallon Green Vertical Water Storage Tank is configured specifically for California buyers and ships from our Hanford, CA plant. At 1,000 gallons of capacity in a 72-inch-wide vertical body, it stores a full water column on a 72.0 x 72.0-inch base - a compact pad commitment for the volume it holds. The green color is a California-only configuration, and the polyethylene build carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, exactly what fresh water service calls for.
Will it work for your site?
This is a dedicated vertical water storage tank - the kind of 1000 gallon unit people look for when they need a rural water reserve, household supply, irrigation buffering, or fire-water standby. The number that drives every planning decision is contents weight: filled to capacity, this tank carries 8,340 pounds of water (1,000 gallons at a 1.0 specific gravity), which is also its maximum rated contents weight. Size your slab to that loaded number, not the empty tank. If you are deciding between this and a different gallon size or shape, run the Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide to match capacity to your space and refill cadence. For exact height, diameter, fitting sizes, and outlet locations, the technical drawing on this page is the authoritative reference - confirm those dimensions there before you set anchor points or plumb your inlet and outlet.
Setting it on a proper base
A loaded 8,340-pound water tank needs a flat, fully supported, level foundation - poured concrete is the standard for a permanent install of this size. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the engineering framework so the pad carries the full contents weight without point-loading the tank floor.
Putting the stored water to work
A 1000 gallon vertical tank is a workhorse in larger water systems. If your application is private fire protection, our fire-water reservoir tank design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service. If you are aggregating grey water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate for reuse, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide shows how to band storage by quality and sequence treatment stages.
This tank ships LTL freight from the Hanford, CA plant, with freight quoted live to your ZIP. Because it ships from a single California plant, long-haul freight scales with distance, so get your exact number on the Freight Cost Estimator before you commit - or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote the shipment and confirm availability for your delivery address.
