Water Tanks Stratford

Stratford Water Tanks

Stratford is a town on the Avon River, 232 kilometres east of Melbourne, and just 18km from Sale on the Princes Highway in Shire of Wellington. The town has numerous coffee shops and cafes, a cellar door for a local winery, Design Gallery, model railway shop, a pub, parks and playgrounds for car travellers to break their journey.

Pioneer Water Tanks have been the best Stratford water tank supplier and manufacturer for more than thirty years.

People of Stratford 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 are mindful of their water storage needs.

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 Stratford climate

Rainwater run-off and flooding

While many people across our dry country relish the sight of rain, evolving weather conditions, and modern infrastructure have resulted in increasing cases of storm water run off and flash flooding.

If Stratford received 100mm of rain in a 24 hour downpour, it would require just 100 houses to have water tanks to keep two million litres of water from entering stormwater systems and resulting in stormwater runoff and flooding damages.

Bushfire preparation

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

An important way to prepare for the drier summer months is to ensure that you not only have a bushfire action plan, but also that you have sufficient water storage to help you and emergency services protect against the threat of bushfire.

In order to ensure your water tank can be used for the purposes of both domestic or property water storage, and fire protection, Pioneer Water Tanks offers the option of a fire reserve.

Outperforming all comers in bushfire conditions

A Pioneer Water Tank performed better than the competitors in bushfire simulation when testing was done by the Bushfire and National Hazards CRC in partnership with the CSIRO.

All other tanks tested either melted or split, causing them to lose valuable water, however the Pioneer Water Tank continued to hold water after being exposed to the full 30 minute fire front, which could prove essential to fire fighting efforts.

After a fire front has gone by, the water in your tank can still be used for non-consumptive purposes, like irrigating your gardens, however, it is highly recommended to get your water tested as soon as possible to ensure your water is safe before using it for food preparation or drinking.

The Pioneer Water Tanks Difference

Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile

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

The V-Lock profile is designed both for sturdiness and to protect the tank liner, by preventing stretching and wear, and the sheets are engineered to the ideal thickness for each panel, meaning we put the steel where it's required most.

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

Aqualiner Fresh ® antimicrobial water tank liner

A Pioneer Water Tanks exclusive, the Aqualiner Fresh ® water tank liner is the only antimicrobial water tank liner on the market, proven to prevent the growth of algae and bacteria in your water tank.

Utilising Sanitized ® technology, the Aqualiner Fresh ® water tank liner has the antibacterial qualities of silver woven into the tank liner.

This is an industry leading product, comprised of five engineered layers, coming together to produce the most technically advanced, cleanest and strongest water tank liner available today.

Stratford Local Insight

Local knowledge

The origin of the town's name is unclear. Many believe it derives from Stratford-upon-Avon in England, William Shakespeare's birthplace, a view which is lent credence by the fact that it is located by the river Avon, although the name of the river Avon comes from a Scottish river.

Things to do in Stratford 

It is definitely worth checking out a section of the Bataluk Cultural Trail if you're a fan of hiking or bushwalking, but if bikes are more your speed, head over to The Howitt Bicycle Trail.
