The city's firefighting network, the Auxiliary Water Supply System (AWSS) maintains a network of 177 independent underground water cisterns, with sizes varying from 75,000 US gallons (280,000 L) to over 200,000 US gallons (760,000 L) depending on location with a total storage capacity of over 11 million U.S. gallons (42 million liters) of water ...
Water canisters come in many different materials and shapes, but are usually made from rigid plastic with shape as a square or rectangular cube. Typical capacities lie around 5 to 25 liters for household use. If the water is to be used for drinking, the plastic of both the canister, screw cap and tap (also called water spigot) should be food ...
Capacity table for horizontal cylindrical storage tank [3] In order for volume measurements from the tank to be used, it typically has a capacity table created using appropriate standards. [3] Each row of capacity table contains fill level value and corresponding volume value (and other related data).
Intermediate bulk containers (also known as IBC, IBC tote, or pallet tank) are industrial-grade containers engineered for the mass handling, transport, and storage of liquids, partial solids, pastes, granular solids [1] or other fluids. There are several types of IBCs with the two main categories being flexible IBCs and rigid IBCs. [2]
Flush tanks or cisterns usually incorporate a mechanism to release water from the tank and an automatic valve to allow the cistern to be refilled automatically. This system is suitable for locations plumbed with 12.7 or 9.5 mm ( 1 ⁄ 2 or 3 ⁄ 8 inch) water pipes which cannot supply water quickly enough to flush the toilet; the tank is needed ...
An elevated water tank, also known as a water tower, will create a pressure at the ground-level outlet of 1 kPa per 10.2 centimetres (4.0 in) or 1 psi per 2.31 feet (0.70 m) of elevation. Thus a tank elevated to 20 metres creates about 200 kPa and a tank elevated to 70 feet creates about 30 psi of discharge pressure, sufficient for most ...

The Jones Street tank is directly connected to the Ashbury tank and has a total capacity of 750,000 US gallons (2,800,000 L). The tank is set at 369 feet (112 m), providing hydrants with 160 pounds per square inch (1,100 kPa) of pressure. It is located at 1239 Jones Street in the city's Nob Hill neighborhood. [7]
