What does tank maintenance include?
HSG274 expects cold water storage tanks to be inspected at least annually. Maintenance is the planned upkeep that keeps a tank in good condition between cleans: checking lids, screens, overflows, insulation, temperature and condition, and recording what is found. For the full explanation, see our Tank Maintenance page.
- Annual inspection with a written record
- Checks on lids, screens, overflows and insulation
- Water temperature and condition checks
- Repairs to defects found
- Advice on tank size and turnover
Tank maintenance in Manchester buildings
United Utilities supplies the area. A tank that is larger than the building needs holds water that turns over slowly, and a tank with a poor lid or screen lets debris in.
Tanks we maintain include those at:
- Schools, colleges and university buildings
- Care homes, clinics and hospitals
- Residential blocks and housing stock
- Hotels, pubs and leisure venues
- Industrial and commercial buildings
