A catchment (10000 gallon) should cost around 3k. Add in a pump and filter system. Pump and filter needs to be installed by a plumber and may need a building permit (pulled by the plumber). Tank needs to be installed on a level surface that's been prepared with rock crush (levelling and creating a stable base) covered by sand (protects the liner from rock punctures). Preparing and levelling isn't rocket science, nor is constructing the tank from it's pieces (takes an afternoon for two people). Water line from tank to house needs to be buried (again, rock crush bed and sand to cover it, trench needs to be dug). Then the gutters need to be connected to the tank along with first flush diverter and an overflow needs to be installed.
Good point about the possibility of water supply disruption. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.
