Well, Crap,In the case as in the article, water in the heater would be contaminated also. And you cant boil it to clean it due to the algee toxins thrive with the heat

Too polluted for a well. Too far for "city water." Cistern is the only way to go out here.

Similar to a small basement with a patio over the top. Don't forget to leave a manhole for maintenance. Seal inside with Thoroseal so chemicals from the concrete don't leach into water. Hook up to gutters and you have free water. Use a some type of diverter to flush the leaves and bird poop out before water enters cistern. Then you need a pump, pressure tank, foot valve, pvc pipe and you are all set.I'm going to look into this for storage. What is the construction?
