Start with what you know

A tank is part of the route from supply to tap. Keep its access, maintenance record and connections in your property file. Do not enter a tank or improvise chemical cleaning; arrange appropriate professional assessment and follow equipment instructions.

Make the record specific

When a property receives delivered water into a tank also supplied by a bore, record both sources. A delivery document by itself does not describe the mixed water leaving storage.

Your observation checklist

  • Identify the tank and the outlets it supplies.
  • Record the last documented inspection or cleaning.
  • Note visible issues from a safe, accessible position.
  • Confirm who can authorize downtime and arrange an alternative supply.

The question to take to an assessment

What inspection, cleaning scope and return-to-service checks are appropriate for this tank?

Keep the original observations, dates and documents together. If you commission a visit or test, agree its scope, costs and expected written output directly with the professional. Our online check does not book a technician or send your details to a provider.
