3,453 gallon Aqualine pitched roof rainwater tank in Leander
A client who had previously installed one of our raincache water collection kits wanted to upgrade – doubling his water storage capacity with this durable Aqualine tank!

The project manager decided to hire an artist to decorate the poly tank, making it a central piece of art at the complex!
