Water tanks available
We have handy 200-litre water tanks available for the community to buy directly from us for $128. These tanks are helpful to have on hand to collect a back-up water supply for garden watering and emergencies.
If you’d like to purchase a water tank, pop into the Council office at 19 Kitchener Street, Martinborough between 8.30am-4pm Monday to Friday or give us a call on 06 306 9611 to check we have them in stock. We aim to have tanks available at all times but if there’s high demand, there might be a slight delay.

Need a bigger tank?
If you need a larger tank, talk to one of your local farming specialists.
When choosing the size to purchase, we recommend a 25/30,000 litre tank for larger properties or a 4/5,000 litre tank for smaller properties.
Resource consent would not be required if the water tank was setback in accordance with the District Plan requirements. These setback requirements vary between zones. If you are unsure please email planning@swdc.govt.nz or call with the site address and proposed location. Servicing requirements may be relevant to the building.
