There was another rusty tank for the garden at 8000 liters, never used it. I wasn't exactly frugal either. I managed to get 10 min showers using a trickle. I also used hand washing basin for clothes and the top loader to spin them out and a rinse sometimes. If it rained I washed the car. I dug pits in the clay for watering fruit trees. All of that water was supplied by a double car port roof. The house roof tanks had bullet holes in them. (2 x 40,000lt) No one we knew The house came that way - renting. I would say the roof was around 20 meters ^2 and a good rain of 3 hours would have the tank overflowing - down to the tanks with bullet holes.
