Potable Water Storage Solutions for Changing Canadian Infrastructure

Potable Water Storage Solutions for Changing Canadian Infrastructure

Why Potable Water Infrastructure Matters Now More Than Ever

Municipalities across Canada are under increasing pressure to upgrade aging potable water systems in the face of rapid population growth, stricter environmental regulations, and rising climate resilience demands. Potable water infrastructure isn’t just about pipes and pumps — it’s about public health, sustainability, and service continuity.

From ensuring compliance with SDG 6 to meeting provincial guidelines and Canada’s Net-Zero goals, water storage systems are a frontline asset. As federal investment grows through programs like the Canada Community-Building Fund and Canada’s Green Infrastructure programs, capital project planning must prioritize efficient, reliable, and future-ready solutions.

Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks: A Proven Solution for Municipal Potable Water

Trusted Nationwide — Built for Canadian Conditions

With over 60 years of proven field performance, Greatario’s glass-fused-to-steel (GFS) tanks offer unmatched durability for municipal and industrial potable water storage. 

These modular, panel-based systems are corrosion-resistant, repaint-free, and engineered for long-term performance — even in Canada’s harshest climates.

We’ve built coast to coast, meeting the unique needs of Indigenous communities, rural towns, and urban growth zones with tanks that are as adaptable as they are dependable.

Built to Spec — And Built to Last

Greatario tanks meet or exceed AWWA, EN, ISO, and DWI standards. Whether you’re integrating into an existing water distribution system or designing a new capital project, our potable water tanks support lifecycle asset management and long-term cost efficiency.

Modular Water Tank Options for Every Community Need

Standpipes
Reservoirs
Composite Elevated Tanks (CET)

Engineered to meet high head pressure requirements, our standpipes provide overflow elevations up to 120 feet. These vertical tanks are ideal for growing communities, offering low maintenance and future scalability.

Reservoir tanks are ideal for sites with limited vertical clearance, challenging soil conditions, or elevated locations to maximize pressure. Modular and factory-coated for quick assembly and expansion.

Our elevated water towers are engineered to maintain system pressure and meet peak demand. With overflow elevations reaching 200+ feet and capacity up to 3 million gallons, these tanks are built for high-demand systems.

Designed for Sustainability, Procurement Efficiency, and Long-Term ROI

✔ Reduced emissions through long-lasting glass coatings — no repainting
✔ Meets AWWA D103 standard
✔ Lower lifecycle costs and faster builds with modular panels
