Question: What happens if a water tank failed?

HI, good question, well for a start we get wet feet, there is a bit of head scratching because seeing where the water is isn’t always where it is coming from. We have to then find out where all the possible weak points are in our tank, once we have found those we target them and use specialist techniques to seal them, we try and do as much from the outside as possible because it saves the water. If we have to drain the tank we have to pay to have it filled up. That is a lot of wasted water so we have to avoid leaking tanks by being extra careful when we build them.
