Hello!
For some background, we started building right before covid hit. We have run into so many increased building costs we are doing as much of the work as we can, we just passed our rough-ins that we did ourselves and are now tackling this!
We are in a mountain area that has its water supplied by a water company with some very specific requirements. A 1500 gallon cement water cistern. We have the cistern installed but not its internal components (heater, pump, float valve & float)
Here is a diagram of the cistern:

My question is about the heater, a heater is required at the lip of the manhole leading to the tank to ensure the float valve does not freeze.
I can not find this type of heater anywhere. Can someone point me in the correct direction?
Thanks so much for any help!
Any other pointers on any of the internal component installation would be welcome!
