Water supply tanks
Operative Text
A. Water supply tanks shall be installed and maintained so as to be watertight, verminproof, rodentproof, resistant to corrosion and capable of withstanding the working pressures under normal operation. B. Supports for tanks shall be of noncombustible construction. C. Tanks and their supports shall not be used to support equipment or structures other than for tank use, except where specially designed for such other use. D. Means for emptying water supply tanks shall be provided and maintained in proper working condition. E. Potable water supply tanks for domestic supply and standpipe or automatic sprinkler systems shall be installed and maintained to furnish water in sufficient quantity and pressure for such systems.
Section 128-31 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances establishes standards for water supply tanks used in residential and other buildings. Tanks must be watertight, resistant to pests and corrosion, and capable of handling normal working pressures, while their supports must be made of noncombustible materials. Tanks and supports are not to bear unrelated equipment or structures unless specifically engineered for that purpose, and potable water tanks must deliver sufficient quantity and pressure for domestic, standpipe, or sprinkler systems.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to ch. 128 § 128-31 generally keep water supply tanks inspected and maintained to confirm they remain watertight, verminproof, rodentproof, and corrosion-resistant throughout the life of the installation. Compliant operators ensure that tank supports are constructed of noncombustible materials and are not repurposed to bear unrelated loads unless the structure was specifically engineered for that dual use. Operators also verify that emptying mechanisms are functional and that potable water tanks consistently deliver adequate pressure and volume for all connected domestic and fire-suppression systems.

Section 128-31 of LeRoy Village Code ch. 128 sets minimum standards for water supply tanks that affect the safety and reliability of water service in a building. If a tenant observes signs of a failing or contaminated tank—such as discolored water, inadequate water pressure, or visible structural problems with tank supports—those conditions may represent a violation of this provision. Tenants can document such conditions, report concerns to the appropriate local code enforcement or housing authority in LeRoy Village, or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
