Water tank could be your lifeline in a disaster

A 200l water tank at the council's customer service centre.

The 200-litre tank has been developed to capture and store rainwater for an emergency. Once boiled, it can be used for drinking. 

The tank comes with a user guide complete with installation instructions, and a kit to connect it to a downpipe.

Even if you're not a winner, you can still secure your own tank for the discounted price of $135. We're expecting new stock to arrive next month. To order a tank, phone us on 06 356 8199 or visit our Customer Service Centre on the Square.
