Rainwater Tanks

Rainwater tanks are widely used as a source of drinking water in rural Australia. It is important that tanks are properly maintained in order to protect water quality. NSW Health has produced a Rainwater Tanks brochure that provides advice on the use and maintenance of tanks and has endorsed the enHealth publication "Guidance on the Use of Rainwater Tanks."
