This is for pretty good concrete tanks. There are a lot cheaper tanks.



Excavation and plumbing (1 hour west of Edmonton) was $3,000.00 for both tanks. So my guess is $4,500.0 to 6,000.00 for a single 2,000 gal near Red Deer depending what tank you choose.

Good luck

I've got a well that has run dry, but even when it was up and running the water was undrinkable. I have a 2000 gallon concrete cistern and I'm thinking of getting another. I've heard fiberglass is easier to clean, are there advantages to going with concrete?
