My sister was looking at a well for her cabin, and the difference between getting a well and using a cistern tank was going to be in the 1000's of dollars. And because it was the cabin and as such would only be used maybe 50 days out of the year, the cost of trucking in water @ about $200 per year was going to take 15 years to make up the difference in price. And that is assuming the well lasts that long. Her in-laws are right beside her and had to get a new well a couple of years ago.
I was looking at that for my cabin and was considering taking it one step further and using rain water.
