Why does Washington Township store water in elevated tanks?
- We use the stored water for emergency use when there is a problem with its supply. The NJDEP (New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection) wants us to have at least one day supply stored for fire protection.
- The elevation of the stored water supplies most of the water pressure for the community. Every one foot of elevation supplies 0.433 psi (pounds per square inch) of pressure.
