Local Mfg has nice concrete tank I would rather use but they are $800 for 300 gal. So I improvized....

Also this is the spring with least output so if I can use it 8 months out of the year I'll be happy...

Set the tank in gravel then poured concrete around PVC coupling... Overflow pipe is removable and will be cut to 1" below tank top edge....

Enjoy the photos.

This was February 2023.

This hillside had no less than 10 small spring outcroppings...
I pealed back the top soil.

Dug and daisy chained gravel and perforated pipe at the springs to solid to capture water.
Good output in early months just had a trickle ladt August.
