The Norwesco 2500 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank in green is a California-only color built for stationary above-ground water storage. Molded from polyethylene with a 1.0 specific gravity rating, it holds 2,500 gallons in a 95-inch wide by 95-inch deep body that stands 91 inches tall. If you are sizing a vertical storage tank for irrigation, livestock water, rainwater holding, or a rural fire-water reservoir, this is a large single unit that still moves on a standard LTL truck - and because it ships from two Central Valley plants, most California sites are a short freight lane away.

Will this tank work for your job?
Capacity is 2,500 gallons on a 95.0 x 95.0 inch footprint, with an overall height of 91 inches - check both your pad and your overhead and gate clearance before the truck arrives, since the full 95 x 95 x 91 inch envelope has to reach the install point. The 1.0 specific gravity rating means this tank is engineered for water and water-like liquids at a density of 1.0; it is not rated for heavier chemical contents, which is exactly what you want for a water storage tank. The green color is rated for California distribution only, so if you are outside California, call 866-418-1777 about standard color options. Run your draw-down and refill cycle through the Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 2,500 gallons fits before committing to a tank this size.
Weight, pad, and install planning
Filled to capacity, this tank holds 20,850 pounds of water - that is the maximum rated contents weight, and it bears down on a 95 x 95 inch footprint. That works out to roughly 231 pounds per square foot of distributed load, a number you can hand to whoever pours your slab. A tank this heavy needs a properly engineered, level foundation, so review Concrete Pad Sizing for Above-Ground Polyethylene Tanks to size your pad against the ACI 360R-10 framework before delivery. After install, follow the Hydrostatic Test Methodology for New-Install Tank Acceptance to fill in controlled stages, monitor pad settlement, and check every fitting for leaks before putting the tank into service. See the technical drawing on this page for the exact fitting layout and dimensions.
The mistake to avoid
The biggest planning error on a 2,500-gallon vertical is treating it like a smaller portable tank. At 20,850 pounds full, an unlevel or under-built pad will stress the tank wall and threaten the warranty - the foundation is not optional. Second, do not order the green tank if you are shipping outside California; the green color is restricted to California, so call first if your site is in another state. For cold-climate or fire-reserve service, plan freeze protection up front: the Fire-Water Reservoir Tank Design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for remote sites, and the Industrial Water Reuse Tank Topology guide maps grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation into quality-banded storage trains.
This vertical water storage tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP from the nearest Norwesco plant - Hanford, CA or Merced, CA. With two Central Valley ship points, most California destinations are a short LTL lane from one of the two.
