How much does a rainwater tank cost?
How much should you expect to pay for a rainwater tank? The old adage regarding a piece of string comes to mind for the answer to this question. Here are four main factors which will contribute to the cost of your water tank:
- Water tank size
- Instillation requirements
- What material the water tank is made of
- Delivery
You can purchase a 1000 Litre tank for as little as $300, or for something smaller, Australian Waste Management sell wheelie bins, 120 Litres from $65. Now a days you can order rain water tanks in all shapes and sizes (and costs) but you can pick up a larger tank of 5,000 Litres for as little as $1500. Need something a little larger? A 100,000 Litre tank will cost you around $8000.
Add to this the cost of tank instillation and plumbing by a registered plumber which will vary depending on whether or not you’re going to use your tank water for the toilet and laundry. Typically, a small above ground tank will cost you around $300 to install plus the cost of a pump – starting at around $200.

I’m representing a kindergarten that is pursuing the idea of installing some water tanks. To conserve water from the plumbing and use for water play, watering of gardens and whatnot.
Please contact me if you could suggest the appropriate style of tank that would suit these needs.
