Actually it's two 5,000 gallon water storage tanks, in parallel, on the
property. Everyone here has multiple 5,000 gallon tanks (it's dry country
where it never rains from about May to about December, not a drop).

The building codes kick in differently if you have 5,0001 gallon tanks so
everyone here has two or three 5,000 gallon tanks (some have four, but
that's overkill for home use). The wells run dry often so it could take a
week or more to fill up a dry tank.

Hope that answers the question.
