Hi Ron, we have a 5000ltr tank under the house that collects water off the curved Nissen hut roof and a 23500ltr tank that collects from the roof of the two double garages, this is connected to the 5000ltr tank. When the 5000ltr tank is getting full we pump some of the water in it up to a 23500ltr holding tank up the hill from the house. This water is then gravity fed back to the house. We also have a 46000 litre tank further up the hill again but this is not connected to the house and is for firefighting and general garden use, it collects water via its own roof and gutter system

All tanks are currently full

Mike
