FHA Cistern

[Michigan CG]

Does FHA allow for basement cisterns?

 

[CANative]

Not for domestic potable water.

 

[VegasWayne]

They generally don't but can issue a waiver. Waivers are mostly issued for properties on islands that are surrounded by salt water and cisterns are commonplace.

 

[CANative]

There are a lot of salt water islands in Michigan.

 

[Michigan CG]

There is an area in my county where the well water is heavy in sulfur so basement cisterns are common.

Does FHA allow for basement cisterns?

Yes, in some parts of the country.

 

[BOCK FOLKEN]

In my part of the country that would be an indoor swimming pool.
