North Collins, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 § 103-31 establishes standards for water supply tanks in residential and related structures. Tanks must be watertight, resistant to vermin and rodents, corrosion-resistant, and capable of handling normal working pressures, while their supports must be made of noncombustible materials. Tanks used for potable water, standpipe, or automatic sprinkler systems must deliver water in sufficient quantity and pressure, and a functioning means of emptying each tank must always be available.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 103 § 103-31, compliant property operators install water supply tanks that are watertight, verminproof, rodentproof, and corrosion-resistant, and they ensure supports are built from noncombustible materials. Operators also keep the tank's drainage or emptying mechanism in proper working order and avoid using tanks or their supports to bear unrelated equipment or structures unless the system was specifically engineered for that purpose. Potable water and fire-suppression tanks are maintained to consistently deliver adequate water quantity and pressure as required by the provision.

If a tank appears to be leaking, structurally compromised, or failing to supply sufficient water, tenants may document the condition and report it to the appropriate North Collins municipal code enforcement office.
