Interesting cistern next to POS in Cleveland

I had to take a picture of this as it was so aesthetically pleasing to the eyes.

Next to house I was inspecting. Maybe they use it for an outdoor shower as well.

The POS in Cleveland run the entire length of the street, like a disease. Remember Andromeda strain??

Did they forget to dig underground or is that supposed to be decorative ?

I have never seen anything like it and why I posted, was next to the home I was inspecting.

Looks great does it not?

did You see if it had fish in it?

No, I did not want to get in trouble for trespassing but I sure did want to look inside.

Maybe they take a shower and do the wash in the summer, also could be for alligators for all I know, (would not surprise me)

Do they remove the downspouts in the winter so they do not fill up with ice?

I inspected a house in a rural area that had a setup similar to that, and yes, that was their only source of water. :roll:

Nice feature!

Grand do pay used to tell us about squires getting in the cistern, and and having to pour in bleach. Ah the good old days:D
