If you do a search on North Dakota State Building Plans, it will take to a page where they have assembled dozens of plans from the land grant colleges over the years. If you go to the "Miscellaneous tab, plan #5411 & 5412" are for in ground cisterns from 1933. The plans appear to have been scanned into the system and are not real clear, but still interesting. There are plans for barns, houses, sale barns, gates and just about anything you can think of. Kind of fun to go through them.

Thanks Gregg, there are a lot of other neat things there a lot of folks here might enjoy!

Still use two cisterns on the farm today, 12’ diameter x20’ deep, IXL pumps, one with RA Aermotoor above
Cold water, colder than well

We had a Rancher who's place is close to Richland Tx make a talk at our Historical Society meeting Monday. His family has lived on the place for over 150 years. Said they still use the cistern's on the place.

Wow Wayne, what do you figure helps them folks live so long?

Funny Windybob!!!

This is a mute discussion if you live in Colorado. It is against the law there to catch rain water. The state is afraid it will dry up all the rivers
