The Norwesco 15500 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank is the workhorse end of bulk above-ground water storage: a single polyethylene tank holding 15,500 gallons for fire-water reserves, agricultural and irrigation supply, rainwater capture, and process-water buffering. This unit ships in black without fittings, so you plumb the bulkhead and outlet configuration your install actually needs rather than working around a pre-cut layout. Below is what to confirm before it leaves the plant.
Will it work for your site?
Capacity is 15,500 gallons of polyethylene vertical storage, and on a tank this size the number that gates everything else is filled weight: at full water volume this tank carries roughly 129,270 pounds of water alone. That 64-ton load lands entirely on the pad, so the foundation has to be engineered for it before delivery, not after. Walk our concrete pad sizing framework for the ACI 360R-10 / ACI 318 boundary on a load this heavy, then verify your final size against the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide. Because it ships without fittings, plan your outlet, fill, and vent penetrations up front; request the dimensional drawing for footprint and overall height before you pour, or call us for the bulkhead and gasket spec on this tank.
Commissioning and water-storage fit
For rural fire-protection reserves and remote-site water storage, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection for a polyethylene tank in that role. If this is feeding a grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC-condensate reuse train, the industrial water reuse topology guide maps where a vertical storage tank this size sits in a quality-banded storage train. Once it's set and plumbed, run the hydrostatic test methodology before acceptance: a controlled water fill is how you catch pad settlement and fitting leaks while it's still easy to correct.
Freight and ordering
This tank ships LTL, quoted live to your ZIP, from the Norwesco plant in Hanford, CA. A 15,500-gallon vertical tank is a large, dedicated-handling freight item, so get a firm number before you commit: use the Freight Cost Estimator for a freight figure to your ZIP, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we'll work out delivery access and offload on a tank this size. The listed price is the tank itself; LTL freight is quoted separately. Confirm your fitting plan and pad design first, then let's get your Norwesco water storage tank on the road.
