WATER TANKS FOR Morwell

Water Tanks Morwell

Morwell Water Tanks

Morwell is a town in the Latrobe Valley area of Gippsland, in South-Eastern Victoria, approximately 10 km west of the nearby city of Traralgon.

For over thirty years, Pioneer Water Tanks have been a highly regarded Morwell water tank manufacturer and supplier.

People of Morwell know that they can feel confident, knowing they have the backing and support of Australia's number 1 big tank company.

Although much of the rest of the country hold the belief that Victoria is a lush land of ample rains, people in Victoria know better, and understand their water storage needs.

Water Tanks to Suit Every Need

No matter your water storage needs, Pioneer Water Tanks has the water tank that is right for you, in both size and durability.

An Ongoing Battle with the Elements

The Morwell climate

Rainwater run-off and flooding

Whilst rainfall is a welcome sight across this dry nation of ours, changing weather conditions causing heavy storms, and modern infrastructure such as bitumen and concrete, often results in the build-up of water and flash flooding, which can cause damage to property and the environment.

If 100mm of rain fell on Morwell in just twenty four hours, in order to prevent 2 million litres of rainfall from entering stormwater systems, it would require just 100 homes fitted with rainwater tanks and appropriate guttering.

Bushfire preparation

Australia is world famous for having long scorching summers, and if you discount the obvious outlier in Antarctica, is the driest continent on the planet. This, coupled with the life cycle of many native plants, leaves much of Victoria vulnerable to widespread bushfires.

In addition to having a bushfire action plan, an important way to prepare for the dry summer months is to ensure that you have adequate water storage to help protect you from the threat of fire, and a Pioneer Water Tank helps provide that protection.

A steel water tank can be used as both fire protection and water storage for the home, and Pioneer also offers a fire reserve option for your water tank if required.

Outperforming all comers in bushfire conditions

When the Bushfire and National Hazards CRC together with the CSIRO performed bushfire simulations on a range of water tanks, a steel Pioneer Water Tank performed best.

Importantly, unlike the other tanks - which either melted or split - the Pioneer Water Tank continued to hold water even after a fire front, which could prove essential to firefighting efforts.

While a water tank will still prove adequate for watering gardens or lawns, if it has been exposed to fire, it is highly advised that you get the tank water tested as soon as possible to ensure that it is still safe for household use.

The Pioneer Water Tanks Difference

Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile

The Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile has been engineered for durability, and designed with the sole function of water storage in mind.

The V-Lock wall profile is designed to put the steel where it is needed most, for the optimal strength and support, as well as protecting the tank liner, not just from external debris, but also against stretching or warping from the tank filling and emptying.

The design was considered so good, in regards to structural integrity and aesthetic appeal, it won an Australian Design Award.

Morwell Local Insight

Local knowledge

The name of the town of Morwell is likely to be derived from a local Indigenous word from the Gunai language that means inhabitants of the swamp, referring to the Gunai clan that lived in the area. The nearby town of Moe was named after the Gunai word for swampland, which is a reference to the swamp between Moe and Yarragon that was drained in the 1890s.

Morwell River was the first place to be recorded with the name Morwell, using the inconsistent spelling of Morewill River in the 1847 diary of Charles Tyers, Morewell River on an 1847 survey map and River Morewelle in an 1848 notice of pastoral leases.
