I live in south TX. We rarely have a bad freeze but last year was brutal. Lots of busted pipes at the well. Considering building a well house. First, question ... I have a poly 3000gal cistern. I've never seen one enclosed in a structure I guess for obvious reasons. But was thinking of a garage-like structure where I could drain it and drag it out. But my well guy says in all his years he has never seen a cistern rupture from a freeze so he thinks it's a waste for the few days of sub freezing we have a year. Thoughts? Second question, thinking of a well house just over the pressure tank and booster pump to protect from the brutal TX summers and to protect it from any freeze. Any thoughts on ideal structures to cover it? Thanks!!!
