-Drinking water is a role for water storage tanks that many don’t think about until an emergency strikes and the water supply is either shut off or contaminated. A1 Tank, LLC, supplies custom galvanized water storage tanks for fire suppression and drinking water to Northern California communities from Napa and Sacramento north to the Oregon border, and between the Pacific Ocean and the Nevada border. The water storage needs of communities near Red Bluff, Chico, Susanville, Lakeport, Redding, and more can be well-served by galvanized water storage tanks.
Galvanized water storage tanks are the top choice for safe drinking water and are especially beneficial during disasters and weather events that interrupt water systems.
Northern California communities are no strangers to the danger and damage from wildfires. In 2024, wildfires burned nearly 600,000 acres in Northern California, threatening and evacuating several communities. The largest, the Park Fire, burned 429,000 acres in Butte and Tehama counties and, because of rough and steep terrain, took over two months to completely extinguish.
In January 2025, various news media, including CNN, reported that Los Angeles area wildfires had contributed to contaminated drinking water. The report states that when water is depleted and water systems are damaged, water systems can become contaminated from melted plastic pipes releasing chemicals, and from smoke and soot that enter damaged water systems. The result is undrinkable water, and if consumed, it can make people sick and perhaps contribute to long-term illnesses.
At A1 Tank, our custom-manufactured water storage tanks can store potable water for use during disasters or infrastructure failures that disrupt the supply of drinking water. Even in rural areas where large capacity water storage tanks are commonplace, a backup drinking water storage system can be valuable.
We deliver custom-manufactured galvanized water storage tanks to Redding, Napa, Santa Rosa, Ukiah, Susanville, and Northern California communities, all the way to the Oregon border.
One person uses between 80 to 100 gallons of water per day for drinking water, cooking, showering, flushing the toilet, and other miscellaneous uses.
For a family, determine how much water you would need to store and for how long, then purchase a water tank that is suitable for those needs. A family of four that needs a two-week supply of drinking water, with water conservation practices in place, might consider a 3000 to 6000-gallon-capacity galvanized water storage tank. We manufacture galvanized water storage tanks to your specifications, with capacities from 1000 to 20,000 gallons.
Each tank is individually manufactured at our Paso Robles facility using advanced wire-weld technology for seamless, durable construction.
Galvanized steel is more durable than plastic tanks and can withstand fire, storms, and temperature fluctuations without melting, cracking, or breaking down under high temperatures as concrete does.
You get a better return on your investment.
California law requires buildings to have a water supply with sufficient pressure for fire suppression with easily accessible to firefighters. Check local fire regulations for details for your area. Our tanks meet all water storage requirements.
