Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 19, 2012 3:42 pm Hi guys, For our acreage build we are required to provide potable water and pressurised water for use during construction. We are not keen on installing our rhino rainwater tank early as it could very easily get damaged by the builders. Does anyone have any recommendations on what options we have here? Should be buy some sort of temporary solution or is there somewhere we can hire this from at a reasonable price around Brisbane. We have received one quote so far and it looks like it will cost us about 5k to hire for the 4-5 month period. Thanks for your help.

You could then use this as an initial settlement tank to keep your main tank cleaner after you move in The Harder You Try - the Luckier You Get !

But they did not ask for potable, we also have rain water if they really wanted it to drink Re: Acreage build temporary water solution 5May 07, 2012 5:20 pm Hey guys, we've started a blog to track our build: http://blog.mikeandkerryjane.com/building/ 1 4650 Hi JW I just read your post and I find this situation quite strange.
