At current rates a ferrocement tank can be constructed for very little money if you've got the skills. My 4 x 4 8 foot tank with a slate deck on top, +/- 1000 gallons, cost under 800 dollars including the slate. Pretty cheap for a tank that can be built on site with no truck access, anywhere, and with no more tools than snips, a shovel, and a trowel.

JWITZ,if I give up the well idea ,consider yourself hired.
But does the job require a bulldozer? $800 sounds good.But is it all the cost for having the "underground" cement tank?
And how about my initial question-termites and that type of tank?
Because if the tank will invite all the neighbor's termites to have a non-stop party,what's good about it?
How you are dealing with yours under the porch,which,I assume,is made of wood ?
Spraying chemicals around my water supply is not an option.
