Cistern Installation in Alberta

A reliable water system starts with a properly installed cistern.
Whether it’s for a home, acreage, farm, or commercial property, we install high-quality cisterns above or below ground - built to handle Alberta’s climate and deliver dependable water storage for decades.

If you need potable water, irrigation supply, or a backup water source, we make sure your system is strong, safe, and built to last.

Why Proper Cistern Installation Matters

Your cistern is the heart of your water system. A correct installation:

  • Protects your drinking water

  • Prevents contamination and system failures

  • Extends the lifespan of your tank

  • Avoids costly repairs or code violations

  • Keeps your property running safely and efficiently

A cistern only performs as well as the way it’s installed - which is why we don’t cut corners.

When You Should Install or Replace a Cistern

You may need a new or upgraded cistern system if you’re:

  • Building a new home or structure

  • Expanding an acreage or increasing water demand

  • Replacing an outdated, unsafe, or failing tank

  • Ensuring your system meets Alberta code and capacity requirements

If your water system is unreliable or nearing its limits, a properly installed cistern can make all the difference.
