Storage Tank Size for a Family on a Well
The little tank runs out at dinner.

Why this comes up
The little tank runs out at dinner. Size the tank for the people in the house, not for a catalog photo.
What to check on the map first
County GIS lines are assessment maps. They are not a survey, and a product will not redraw them.
Open Platbookmapper and choose the state. The directory sends you to the county viewer. Match the parcel ID before you trust a pin on an aerial photo.
A tool that matches the job
Shop the RO storage tank when that is the job in front of you. Size the tank for the people in the house, not for a catalog photo.
The limit
Test the well before you buy a system. Reverse osmosis treats a drinking tap. It does not fix every well problem, and it is not a survey tool.
The county viewer is the map. The product is only the tool you carry.
Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey.
