- Civil Engineers, like Highfill, must consider the weight of a storage tank (including the water) when designing a water storage tank. Why is this an important consideration? The weight of water in a water storage tank can be calculated if you know the volume of the tank and its unit weight. *Note: Water at 70oF has a unit weight of 62.4 lbs/ft3 **Note: The notation #/CF is commonly used by Highfill to represent ? lbs/ft3 Below is a drawing of a concrete ground storage tank with an inside diameter of 120 feet and a depth of 60 feet to the high-water line at the top of the cylindrical portion of the tank.
