    Default Food grade liquid totes 225+ gallons

    Does anybody know of a source for food grade liquid tote?
    The large metal wire and plastic type.
    I have in mind several projects for these totes.

    Just remember to coat it in a dark colour so no bacteria grows in the liquid due to light exposure. Long term water storage I assume?

    Edit; Found some for ya http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/grd/2538248982.html

    Oh, not water storage, anything over 50 gallons is illegal in Washington.
    They are for my DRIP irrigation, fish ponds, farm fire prevention, etc., never for water storage that is against the law.

    I'm not sure why.
    I have a friend who practiced law in WA, he told me about the water storage restriction.
    Most likely some GreenBushWienie political sexual intellectual "f_ing know it all" was afraid that some citizen might dam up a whole river, hence the law.
    My suspicion is they haven't a good way off taxing your "storage".

    So you are saying that because I have barrels of water stored that it is illegal??? You have to be kidding???

    I suppose if that water is in small plastic bottles bought from some mega water distributor that it is ok to store 100 cases of those? LOL!

    I can just imagine calling my sons from jail to come bail me out for water hoarding...and them reminding me that I said I wouldn't bail them out if they got in trouble... ;-)

    They would really hate knowing about my underground water storage tanks.
