Bring the irrigation plan into the discussion

Discuss irrigation demand and replenishment with your irrigation contractor before choosing a storage size.

Planning in Southampton Town or Village

Southampton Town and Southampton Village have separate building departments. Confirm which department covers the property before preparing an application. Share the proposed cistern location and intended use when asking about the requirements for your project.

A separate water reserve for the landscape

For a Southampton property with a well, consider a cistern supplied by delivery or permitted collection as part of the irrigation plan. It can supply garden watering that would otherwise draw on your own well.

Combine the reserve with efficient irrigation and a planned refill schedule. Filling storage from the same well still requires groundwater withdrawal.

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.
