The water tower in my little town is 103 years old. Very small, very poor little town...I can only IMAGINE what the inside of this tank looks like...

I do maintenance on watertowers, sandblasting and painting, or weld repairs, this method of cleaning is better than what most towns do, most towns do nothing until there is a problem!

You are a very dull-witted person if that is your nightmare. These tanks have ladders so no matter how dark it is you can eventually get to the ladder in a few minutes. And there is a way out, it's called a hatch. Found at the top of the fore mentioned ladder. DUH. If you are worried about air, these towers are NEVER filled to the top. The hatches are also meant to not lock or latch just by it closing. The latches have to be manually lifted and screwed down. So they can't just close and you are fucked. Someone would literally have to lock you inside. If you get locked inside then why the FUCK were you in there in the first place.

It only makes sense to clean them from time to time. The cities go through the work to clean and filter the water only to have a dirty storage tower.

Not all places filter the water, they just treat it. Even so if the water is filtered it's done so before it goes in the tank

Eccch! And that nasty sludge, or rather, sediment is probably deeper in some towers located in a state or municipality that HAS no inspection mandates - and that's POTABLE water, too! No wonder some people are now installing whole-house filtering systems these days!

Anybody else like super scared of swimming in deep dark water? Like what if one of the drains started going in one of those things 😅 I wouldn’t go done there for any type of money

What is the cost of cleaning a water tower.?

It must have taken that one guy hours to clean that tank.

That was very interesting and educational. I agree tanks should be clean. Can the water be off loaded at least partially to a secondary storage area first? That way the muck won't get stirred up in the water in the process of removing it.

I would love to work for this company & yes the tanks should be cleaned.

swimming, riding bicycle do not prevent osteoporosis source : 1. 'The best exercise for your bones is the weight-bearing kind, which forces you to work against gravity. Some examples of weight-bearing exercises include weight training, walking, hiking, jogging, climbing stairs, tennis, and dancing.

Looks very similar to cleaning the bottom of a pool when the crap builds up. I wonder if anyone has thought of using one of those automated crawling devices like used in pools? It might take longer than a manual cleaning but could be left inside the tank for a few days, using less manpower.

Yes the EPA should require water towers to be cleaned

The EPA should enforse under federal law that the water tanks that people drink from should be cleaned at least 1 a year if you dont you mise well get a cup of toilet water an drink it. it should be a no brainer

the vacuum being used by this company seems to stir the sediment up which is worse than leaving it still on the ground, should be using liquivisons technology which I'm still sceptical on or should be emptying it,

Should the EPA require tanks to be cleaned? No. Because that's a state's issue and it's the state's right to enforce that. A federal agency does not have jurisdiction telling states. Can the EPA can recommend? Sure it can. But it cannot enforce. If it's that important, then let your state legislator know how important it is to do so. That's like the city coming into your house and telling you that you should wash out sink every day. It's none of their business. Its up to you to make that decision.
