The Norwesco 2000 gallon vertical water tank is a green polyethylene cylinder built for bulk water storage where you need real volume without leaving the ground. It stands 80 inches tall on a square 93 by 93 inch footprint, so it fits inside a standard well house, equipment shed, or pad-mounted reservoir setup while holding the full 2,000 gallons. This is the workhorse Norwesco vertical tank size for rural water haul, irrigation supply, livestock, and fire-water reserve.
Will it work for your application?
This tank is rated at 1.0 specific gravity, which means it is engineered for water and water-weight liquids only. Filled to capacity, 2,000 gallons of water weighs 16,680 pounds, and that is the maximum rated contents weight for this tank. Do not store chemicals or solutions heavier than water — anything above 1.0 specific gravity — in this tank; that calls for a higher-SG-rated tank. Plan your foundation around the 16,680-pound full-water figure: a full tank at this footprint puts significant concentrated load onto whatever it sits on, which is why the pad matters as much as the tank. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator to confirm 2,000 gallons matches your daily draw and refill schedule, and the Tank Sizing Guide if you are choosing between this and the next size up or down.
Don't skip the foundation
The most common mistake with a tank this size is setting it on bare or uneven ground. A vertical poly tank needs continuous, level, full-bottom support; any gap or high spot under that 93-inch base concentrates stress and shortens tank life. Most installs go on a poured concrete pad. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework so your pad carries the 16,680-pound full-water load correctly. In freezing service, leave room for ice: fill to roughly 90 percent so expanding ice has room to push upward rather than against the sidewall. The fire-water reservoir design guide covers freeze engineering for tanks held as standby reserve.
Comparing brands or planning a system?
If you are cross-shopping this size, our Snyder vs Norwesco vs Chem-Tainer 2000 gallon vertical comparison lays out the differences between the major manufacturers at this capacity. If this tank is one stage in a larger water program, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide shows how grey-water, rainwater, and condensate aggregation trains are sequenced around storage like this. For fitting layout and outlet positions, see the technical drawing on this page; bulkhead fittings, gaskets, and valves are selected to match your application, so confirm that hardware at order or call us to spec it.
This Norwesco 2000 gallon vertical tank ships LTL freight from Burnet, Texas, and freight is quoted live to your delivery ZIP. Because this size ships only from Burnet, freight cost scales with distance from central Texas — ZIPs across the South and Southwest generally quote cheapest.
