IBC (Intermediate Bulk Containers) tanks are used to transport liquids for use mostly in the food industry. These tanks, with a capacity of 1000 litres, are a great solution for water storage since they are easy to carry around and can also be stacked two high to reduce the footprint they occupy. Bought at wholesale prices, they will cost you about 4000 Kshs.

A roto moulded tank of similar capacity will set you back some Kshs 8000.

I doubt you can get them at 4,000 ksh . The main problem i have had with IBC tanks is that they're transparent this leads to growth of algae in the water stored, a workaround is wrapping them with plastic or painting them which is costly as well.

That is the wholesale price, which means you have to buy several (like 3 or 4). Water on long-term storage might need a few table spoons of jik to prevent algae growth. However, this is not a problem if the storage area in enclosed.
