The Norwesco 2100 Gallon Green Vertical Water Storage Tank is the California-distribution color variant, built for bulk water storage where a tall, compact footprint matters more than sprawl. It holds 2,100 gallons in a vertical polyethylene body that stands 89 inches tall on an 87-inch diameter, occupying an 87.0 x 87.0 inch footprint while keeping vertical column height for gravity feed and cleaner draw-down. This is the tank people reach for when they search for a Norwesco water storage tank, a vertical storage tank, or vertical tank to anchor a rural water supply, a fire-water reserve, or a reuse train. Two facts gate the order before anything else: the green color is offered for California distribution only, and the tank ships from the Norwesco plant in Hanford, CA - a California-origin, California-distribution variant. Confirm your destination is in-state before you buy.
Will it work for your site
The body is molded from polyethylene and carries a specific gravity rating of 1.0, which means it is engineered for water and water-density liquids - not heavier chemical service. Filled to capacity the contents weigh 17,514 pounds, and that figure is also the maximum rated contents weight, so size your base for the full water load with no margin borrowed for denser fluids; if your service is heavier than water, call 866-418-1777 rather than assuming this tank covers it. Fitting count, size, and placement are shown on the technical drawing on this page - confirm those against your plumbing before ordering, since they are not duplicated in the listing text. To match 2,100 gallons to your daily demand and drawdown, run the numbers in the Tank Sizing Calculator and review the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to this capacity.
Foundation and acceptance
At 17,514 pounds full, this tank lives or dies on its base. That entire load concentrates on roughly a 7.25-foot circle, which is exactly why a level, properly engineered pad is non-negotiable - our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework and where the ACI 318 boundary sits for a load this concentrated. Once the tank is set, accept the install correctly: the hydrostatic test methodology covers water-fill discipline, pad-settlement monitoring, fitting leak detection, and hold-time math so you catch a settlement or leak problem before the tank goes into service.
Fire-water, reuse, and cold-climate service
A 2,100-gallon vertical is a common building block for private fire protection and water-reuse storage. If this tank is feeding a rural fire reserve, the guide on fire-water reservoir tank design covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline plus the freeze-protection engineering that a tall vertical water column needs in cold-climate service - relevant whether or not you are storing for fire. For grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate aggregation, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide explains quality-banded storage trains and treatment-stage sequencing for reuse-capable polyethylene storage.
