You can't drink the water from a tank,

Really.

Well you can if you want, but foolish to do so.

Not in the least foolish, provided it is looked after as per the
Water Byelaws.

There is also the more important question of incompetent companies
putting undesirable chemicals in the water, like fluorine, but this
affects one no matter how the plumbing in the house is arranged.

After only a few years I have seen tanks with proper lids and by-law kits
fitted with crud and insects in the water. Takes your choice. Just don't
give the water to visitors and children.
