On our property, water also has to infiltrate on site, which is done via a soakaway trench. According to the architect and civil engineer, adding a cistern does not make sense because you still need the soakaway trench anyway, and you won’t collect a lot of usable water that way. They recommended that we’d better drill a well for half the price.
How big is your swale-soakaway infiltration system? We currently have that too, but I am considering installing a cistern. The swale bothers us, the possible mosquito problem, and we are also not sure how suitable this option is with small children. Have you had any experience with this?
