Water Storage Tank
Water storage tanks need to be periodically inspected and cleaned to help maintain good water quality in the distribution system, and to help extend the life of the tank. Regular tank inspections can also help to identify small problems that may develop into major problems that can create health related issues, lead to costly repairs or premature tank failure. Tanks that are not periodically cleaned can cause contamination events that can harm human health or can contribute to customer’s aesthetic complaints. Routine maintenance activities are carried out primarily in line with the manufacturer’s recommendations, taking into account the specific operating conditions and environment. These maintenance activities form the foundation upon which higher level predictive maintenance techniques are carried out. Tank inspection and cleaning can be done by draining the water tank. Another option becoming more popular is using divers or remotely operated vehicles.

Generally, a water storage tank should be inspected at least every five years, or more often, depending on local conditions. Cleaning and repairs should be addressed based on the findings of the tank inspection. Additional inspections between maintenance intervals are encouraged.
