The Norwesco 3000 Gallon Dark Green Vertical Water Storage Tank is built for serious bulk water storage - rural household supply, irrigation reserves, livestock water, rainwater aggregation, and fire-water reservoir duty. It holds 3,000 gallons in a single vertical footprint of 95 inches by 95 inches, standing 109 inches tall, molded in polyethylene with a dark green exterior that cuts light penetration to help discourage algae growth in stored water.
Will it work for your site?
Plan around the loaded weight, not the empty shell. Filled to capacity, this Norwesco vertical storage tank carries 25,020 pounds of water - that is its maximum rated contents weight, and it is the single number to hand to whoever pours your pad. Pair it with the 95 x 95 inch footprint so your pad designer has both load and bearing area in one place: roughly 25,020 lb spread across a 95 x 95 in base. That weight drives everything underneath the tank - a vertical tank this size needs a properly engineered, level pad, not bare or sloping ground. Walk through the math in our concrete pad sizing guide, which lays out the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground polyethylene tanks.
A water tank, rated to 1.0 specific gravity
This tank is rated to a specific gravity of 1.0, meaning it is engineered for water-weight contents only. It is a water storage tank, not a chemical tank - keep its service to water and water-like fluids at or below that 1.0 density. There is no higher-SG (1.5 or 1.9) variant of this model: if you need to store a denser fluid, this is not the tank for that job, so do not plan chemical service around it. If you are still deciding between sizes, run your demand through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. Confirm the exact fill, vent, and outlet layout on the technical drawing on this page before you plumb anything, so your pump, valve, and bulkhead-fitting selections match the tank as molded.
Sizing it into a larger system
At 3,000 gallons this Norwesco sits in the sweet spot for private fire-protection reserves and reuse trains. If this tank is feeding a rural or remote fire-water reservoir, our guide to fire-water reservoir design covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze-protection engineering for cold-climate service. If it is the storage node in a grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC-condensate reuse setup, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide walks through quality-banded storage trains and treatment-stage sequencing. For a full size-specific walkthrough, see our 3000 gallon water storage tank buyer's guide - engineer your pad to the drawing-verified 95 x 95 in footprint on this page.
Freight and ordering
This is a large vertical storage tank, so it ships LTL freight on its own. Norwesco molds this tank at multiple plants - Fairfield, TX; Griffin, GA; Hanford, CA; Lancaster, OH; Owego, NY; Shawnee, OK; Tooele, UT; and Washougal, WA - and we ship from the plant nearest your delivery to keep freight down, which is why a buyer in the Southeast often draws from Griffin, GA, the West Coast from Hanford, CA or Washougal, WA, the South Central from Fairfield, TX or Shawnee, OK, the Midwest from Lancaster, OH, the Intermountain West from Tooele, UT, and the Northeast from Owego, NY. Freight is quoted live to your ZIP - get your number from our Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777 and we will work it out with you. The mistake to avoid: ordering a 3,000 gallon tank before the pad is poured and the access is confirmed - this is a 25,020-pound-when-full unit you cannot reposition once it is set and filled, so get the foundation right first.
