in 10 CSR 60, Chapter 4. Curing should also be done to eliminatetastes and odors. After painting and proper curing are completed andthe tank is filled, the water that exhibits such odors shall be tested <strong>for</strong>each paint constituent that is listed in 10 CSR 60, Chapter 4 prior toplacing the tank in service.e. Tanks constructed of corrosion resistant metals shall be designed tomeet the same structural requirements outlined in section 2.1.1. andshall not be required to be painted. Corrosion resistant metals shallbe chosen to resist corrosion from all naturally occurring chemicalsin the water stored, all chemicals added as part of water treatmentincluding the addition of chlorine and other disinfectants, and thenatural atmosphere including current and expected future airpollutants in the area.7.0.11. Drains on Unpressurized Tanks and ReservoirsUnpressurized tanks and reservoirs shall be equipped with a drain and havefacilities <strong>for</strong> collecting bacteriological samples.a. Elevated tanks and standpipes with a nominal capacity of 30,000 gallonsor more that provide pressure by gravity shall be equipped with a firehydrant with one pumper (steamer) nozzle of approximately 4½ inches indiameter and two hose nozzles of approximately 2½ inches diameter. <strong>The</strong>piping, valves, and fire hydrant shall be designed and constructed to allowthe tank to be taken off line and drained through the fire hydrant.b. Other above ground tanks shall be equipped with a fire hydrant or flushhydrant. <strong>The</strong> piping, valves, and hydrant shall be designed andconstructed to allow the tank to be taken offline and drained through theflush hydrant or fire hydrant.c. No drain shall have a direct connection to a sewer or storm drain. <strong>The</strong>design and construction shall allow tanks and reservoirs to be takenoffline, drained, cleaned, repaired, and painted without causing loss ofpressure in the distribution system.7.0.12. Roofs and Sidewalls on Unpressurized Tanks and ReservoirsUnpressurized tanks and reservoirs shall have roofs and sidewalls designedand constructed to preserve the quality of the water stored.a. <strong>The</strong> roof and sidewalls must be water tight with no openings exceptproperly constructed vents, manways, overflows, risers, drains, pumpmountings, control ports, or piping <strong>for</strong> inflow and outflow.b. Any pipes running through the roof or sidewall of a finished water storagestructure must be welded or properly gasketed in metal tanks. In concretetanks these pipes shall be connected to standard wall castings. <strong>The</strong>se wallcastings should have seepage rings imbedded in the concrete.c. Openings in a structure roof or top designed to accommodate controlapparatus or pump columns shall be curbed and sleeved with properAug. 29, 2003Page 137
