Water Supplies

A pump and water storage tank may be used if there is not an adequate water supply available to the home from a municipal supply. Tanks can be purchased in almost any size and shape. The key is planning; talk to your sprinkler contractor early in the construction stage to ensure they can provide you with the most economical solution to meet the sprinkler system requirements. If a large tank is required, it will be easier to install before the framing is started.
