Safe municipal drinking water has been with us so long that it is easy to forget that even today the World Health Organization estimates that over a billion people do not have access to clean drinking water. Administrators who manage water systems know that the luxury of having safe drinkable water comes at a cost. It is a constant struggle to maintain the aging infrastructure and keep up with the most effective water treatment options.
Although water treatment chemicals and treatment methods have taken great leaps forward over the years there is still a basic element of sanitation in our water systems that is often overlooked. Simple sediment build up in the bottom of a water storage tank can undermine the best plans and most advanced chemical treatments. In a municipal water system sediment builds up over time. With 10 years of inspecting water storage tanks behind us and thousands of tanks inspected, we have found that three inches of sediment or less is common, but we have found some tanks with many times that and even multiple feet of sediment. The ceiling of the tank contains a large concentration of germs and bacteria due to the availability of the oxygen and dampness arising out of condensation of the water. The wall of the tanks also contains layers of the algae and calcinations.
Keeping your water storage tanks clean may be one of the most overlooked maintenance procedures in the drinking water industry. Out of sight and out of mind, sediment, algae and calcinations in the water storage tanks is never seen and rarely thought of. The sediment, algae and calcinations that build up in almost all potable water tanks can be a habitat for bacteria and other contaminates like cryptosporidium.
Bacteria and other contaminates can get a foothold in the sediment out of reach of the chlorine or other treatment chemicals entering the tank. Hidden in the sediment the bacteria can then grow and flourish creating a health risk. A nitrate eating bacteria can even deplete your chlorine levels leaving you at even greater risk.
- Removing the sediment, algae and calcinations and keeping your tank clean is the best way to maintain a healthy water system. The traditional method of cleaning tanks involves taking the tank out of service for several days while the sediment, algae and calcinations is removed with buckets and shovels.
- Using modern technology water storage tanks may now be cleaned in a mechanized, scientific, and hygienic way.
