This resident was constrained by available space where the roof runoff drains on either side of her house. A tall cylindrical custom fiberglass cistern was installed on one side, and a low, thin “slimline” polyethylene cistern was installed on the other. This avid gardener is now able to use gravity-fed rainwater for most landscape water needs, without constricting access around the house and yard.
