Delle City Station water tank storage
The 10000 gallon well site tank was placed in service sometime before I
leased the store in 2007. Instead of a locked shoe box lid, framed four
inches above the roof surface, it has an access hatch at the top but placed
on the vertical wall of the tank. It is secured by the height of the hatch and
multiple access bolts that must be removed. The gasket seal was replaced
in 2019 by Zimmerman Well services in Tooele and appears to be holding
just fine. The roof vent has the proper screen and is also in very good
condition.
The tank is a vertical standing tank. The lowest end of the access hatch is at
least 12 feet off the ground. There is no access ladder built on the tank.
The access cover is secured by 36 large bolts.
This is a very difficult tank to change a gasket and requires proper
equipment. A vandal with bolt cutters and without a very tall ladder would
have no chance gaining access. I believe the public health is secured better
than a shoebox lid with a lock.
