What is hiding in your potable water storage tanks?
Sediment slowly builds up in most water tanks. After a few years of service a quarter to a half inch is common, at between five and ten years of service we see a half inch to two inches, and at ten to twenty years without cleaning, tanks can often accumulate three or more inches. Despite the water being near perfect at the treatment stage, it often travels through miles of water main pipes that are 20, 30 or even 50 years or older. Occasionally there are main breaks, where water is lost but dirt and other contaminants can be sucked into the system. Many inspection engineers concerned with the structural safety of the tanks dismiss the sediment on the floor as unimportant. Water utility managers and operators should view tank sediment in an entirely different way.
