Water Storage Tank Disinfection, Testing, and Maintenance
The use of fresh water storage tanks is becoming more common in rural areas
of Arizona with limited or diminishing water resources. Homeowners living in
remote areas with low yield and seasonally dry wells or no wells must depend
on water that is trucked in with tankers and stored on site to cover basic living
necessities. Emergency situations such as fires and water utilities shortages
may also require the short-term storage of fresh water to cover the basic needs
of dispossessed or displaced persons.
This bulletin will present specific guidelines for the cleaning, disinfection, and
maintenance of storage tanks used to carry and/or store potable water.
