Plan the cistern with the landscape

Consider the proposed storage location alongside planting areas, paths and outdoor living spaces.

Town or Village of East Hampton?

East Hampton Town and East Hampton Village have separate building departments. Use your property address to confirm which department handles the project and what information it needs before you finalize the construction scope.

Irrigation alongside an existing well

If your East Hampton property uses a well, consider how much additional water the landscape will need. A cistern supplied by delivery or permitted rainwater can provide irrigation water without drawing that volume from your property’s well.

Review the fill source and irrigation demand together. If there is a salinity concern, have the well assessed separately; storage does not treat salty well water.

Water delivery and refills

You or your property manager can coordinate water deliveries directly, or Binder Pools can help arrange them if needed. Agree on the water source, gallons per load, fill connection and delivery access before scheduling the first fill.
