We made it on 1400 gallons from the rains of last summer until this June (we do usually get a little rain in winter, but not this past year), but only just. We were two days away from having to haul water. Admittedly we weren't using our own water for construction, which we brought in from the village.
This is more storage than we have ever had before, and we love it. The only drawback is that we had a ton of rain this weekend, which all overflowed onto the ground. And since we installed the tank on Tuesday, we have had little more than a drizzle!! Oh well, it'll come.

Wow, you got yourselves a bountiful harvest! :) It seems that you had some issues regarding overflow though, which is common. Still, overflow can be considered as wasting, which must be avoided at all times. It’s been three years since you posted this, so I just want to know how your water tanks are doing.
