FFS, how often do people have to be told the tank should have an

How about tanks which were fitted before this regulation was introduced,
which was in ????. Was the regulation retrospective? Who went round
providing and fitting said covers?


If you are worried about drinking water from a graveyard, it's up to you
to make the tank safe. And I'll bet there are very few old galvanised
domestic tanks left in service - they'd be 30+ years old.

As kids, we drank water from a tap that was running red.

We fished the decayed crow out some weeks later.

After the water color had cleared up.

Ive been dead for years, as a result of that ;-)
