Reliable water storage tanks for Leigh homes and rural lifestyle blocks
For many properties around Leigh, rainwater isn’t just a back-up supply. It’s the water the household relies on every day. That makes having enough storage particularly important when rainfall becomes less consistent through the warmer months.
If your tank has run low before, adding a second tank can give you valuable extra capacity and reduce the risk of needing an urgent water delivery. But storage is only part of the picture. Your roof catchment needs to collect enough water, the tanks need to work together properly, and your pump, plumbing and water treatment all need to cope with the way your household uses water.
Older properties can bring another challenge. Existing tanks, pipework and pumps may have been installed or added to at different times, so simply putting in a bigger tank isn’t always the best answer. Before recommending additional storage or a replacement tank, we look at the existing rainwater system and how it is working as a whole.
For Leigh properties, the goal is simple: make the most of the rain that falls, store enough of it, and have a water system you can rely on.

“We have had Aqua Works at our property to install a new water tank with a new pump and water filters. That went so well that we have also been calling on them for all the plumbing work needed during our renovations. Troy has been our plumber and he is professional, reliable, clever and so personable to have around, which makes a real difference when you have a lot of work to do. Therefore, we would highly recommend Aqua Works, they will be our go-to for all plumbing work from now on.”

FAQ about Water Tank Installation Leigh
How much rainwater storage do I need for a home in Leigh?
There isn’t one tank size that suits every property. Household size, daily water use, roof catchment, available space and whether you have another water source all affect how much storage makes sense. As a general guide, New Zealand Building Performance recommends at least 30,000 litres where rainwater is the sole water source, but larger households or properties wanting a better buffer through dry periods may benefit from considerably more storage.
Should I add a second water tank to my Leigh property?
If your existing tank regularly gets low over summer, adding a second tank can be one of the most effective ways to increase your water security. Before adding storage, we also check whether your roof catchment, pipework, pump and existing tank setup can make good use of the additional capacity.
What happens if my water tank runs dry in Leigh?
Drinking water can be delivered by local water carriers servicing Leigh, but demand can increase during peak dry periods. Having additional storage gives you a larger buffer and can reduce how often you need to rely on tanker deliveries.
Will a bigger water tank solve my summer water problems?
Not necessarily. A larger tank only helps if there is enough roof catchment to fill it and the rest of the rainwater system is working effectively. We look at storage, catchment, plumbing, pump performance and household water use together before recommending additional capacity.
Can Aqua Works replace an old concrete or plastic water tank in Leigh?
Yes. We can assess the existing tank and site, prepare the area for the replacement tank, remove the old tank where required and reconnect the new tank to your pump, plumbing and water treatment system.
My taps have suddenly run dry, does that mean my water tank is empty?
Not necessarily. Before ordering a water delivery, check the actual water level in your tank. A failed pump, loss of pump prime, a plumbing problem or a leak can also leave you without water at the taps. If the tank still contains water, the problem may be somewhere else in the system.
My tank keeps getting low. How do I know whether we're using too much water or losing it somewhere?
A tank dropping faster than expected can be caused by high household use, a leak, insufficient catchment or a combination of factors. A tank level meter can make changes easier to spot, while checking the plumbing, pump and tank system can help identify unexplained water loss.
