I need water barrels suitable for storing drinking water in.

Companies or websites based in the UK that sell them.
(Or even places I might find suitable used ones would do)

All I can find are American based companies or rain water barrels.
It needs to be able to store a fair quantity of water, for example
30,40,or 55 gallons. But no more than that.

They MUST be safe to store water for human consumption. I think that
means they need to be made of plastic and not steel. Here is an
example of the sort of barrels I am looking for:

PS- This will be a domestic purchase and not in bulk or as part of a
company so please bear that in mind. Thanks.

Sorry it needs to be barrels. Like in the first link.
I'll try emailing that company thanks. In the meantime though i'd
appreciate more answers from anyone as I really need to find a few
sources. Well, as many as possible ;-)

I don't know why it's so hard to find them here
