CASE WATER SYSTEMS • WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA
Cistern Installation & Water Storage Tanks in Western NC
Store available well or spring water for the times your home needs it most. Case Water Systems installs, replaces and repairs cisterns and water storage tanks, with supply piping, pumps and controls planned around your property.
Water Storage for Low-Yield Wells and Existing Springs
A well or spring may supply water steadily but struggle when several fixtures run together. A cistern collects available water over time, while a separate delivery pump supplies the home as needed. We assess source output, household demand, available space and existing equipment before recommending storage.
A cistern stores water; it does not increase well yield or spring flow. If the source cannot replenish the water being used, storage alone will not solve the shortage. Learn about our well services and existing spring system repairs.

Cistern Installation, Replacement and Repair
New Storage Tank Installation
Plan aboveground or underground storage using a tank designed for the intended placement and water use. Access, support, excavation, drainage and maintenance needs guide the installation scope.
Transfer and Booster Pumps
Select compatible pumping equipment for filling the tank and delivering water to the home. Required flow, elevation and pressure determine the equipment choice.
Level Controls and Protection
Plan float switches, fill controls, overflow piping and low-water protection around the system. Controls help coordinate source pumping, storage and household delivery.
Existing Cistern Repairs
Assess visible leaks, damaged connections, overflow problems, failed controls and interrupted delivery. We explain practical repair or replacement options based on condition.
How We Plan Your Installation
- Review the source and demand. Discuss source records, seasonal changes, water shortages and normal household use.
- Assess the property. Review tank location, delivery access, excavation or support needs, power, piping and service access.
- Build the proposal. Explain tank selection, pumps, controls, connections and site work included in the quote.
- Install and check operation. Check filling, level-control response, overflow arrangements and delivery within the agreed scope.
Tank capacity and installation cost vary with the property. Send your address, existing tank size if known, source type and photos of accessible equipment when you request an assessment.
Water Quality, Pressure and Maintenance
Storage and pressure equipment serve different purposes. A cistern stores a supply of water; a pressure tank supports pump operation and pressure delivery. Review booster and constant-pressure systems for related delivery needs.
Choose tanks suitable for the intended water use and plan accessible maintenance. Clear-looking water does not establish water quality. Discuss water testing and filtration and treatment based on the source and test results.
For seasonal homes, tell us about winter shutdowns and exposed equipment so freeze protection and winterization can be considered.

Common Cistern Installation Questions
How large should my cistern be?
Capacity depends on source output, household demand, refill timing and available space. We review those factors before recommending a tank size.
Can a cistern help with a low-yield well?
It can buffer periods of higher demand when the well produces enough water over time. It cannot create water or compensate indefinitely for an inadequate source.
Can you install an underground tank?
We assess underground installation requests based on access and site conditions. The tank must be designed for burial, and installation must follow its manufacturer requirements.
Do you work on spring-fed storage systems?
Yes. We assess storage, overflow and delivery for existing spring systems, considering seasonal flow and the gravity-fed or pumped arrangement.
Do you provide bulk water delivery?
No. Case Water Systems installs and services water storage equipment; we do not provide bulk water delivery.
What does cistern installation cost?
Tank type and capacity, access, excavation, pumps, controls and piping affect the price. We provide a proposal for the assessed scope rather than a universal installation price.
