Why would food grade drums be necessary for catching rain water running off a non food grade roof... to do what... pour on the non food grade ground. Am I missing something, or why wouldn't an ordinary plastic trash can be suitable? You can buy low quality for like $10-$15 but they will decay from UV exposure and probably crack from freezing temps. I have two of these, excellent quality: http://tinyurl.com/79bqf http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...994-1097-8632- 92/20&lpage=none Last cistern I saw was in Ohio in 1968. Living in NJ no need at this time. Ground water is about 20 feet down. My well is about 40 feet down but all the new is about 100. Nitrates are the major contaminate and old gasoline tanks and oil residues.
