I'm getting a new well drilled (~400'), we're in a cold area that has ~3 foot frost depths. I've already purchased a 2,500 gallon cistern but I'm concerned that I wasted my money a bit because (a) managing freezing temperatures with it will be difficult and (b) it's really a rainwater cistern so there are a lot of gaps that would need to be filled in the lid area.
I'm curious how others are tackling cisterns in cold weather areas.
I'm trying to use a cistern to pump the water a bit higher than the house and make use of gravity for a lot of my water pressure.
