Maxwell Rounds from Castle Rock, Wash., as they maneuver their M1A2 SEP v2 Abrams tank onto the new six-mile tank trail at Raymond F. Rees Training Center in Umatilla, Oregon, Feb. 1, 2025. The new trail enables local National Guard tank crews to conduct essential driver training without traveling to out-of-state facilities. (U.S. Army photo by Maj. Wayne Clyne)

Golden Point - Even piped water from a single storage is a better option than over head tanks and all of the above is at Emmy's Expense ( El ) ( IMF )

@emmanuelrajah9688

Golden Point - All overhead tanks like in the photo are to be demolished and replaced with underground water facilities so that more water can be stored and used especially in emergencies or long droughts or extra use and all of the above is at Emmy's Expense ( El )( IMF )

Golden Point - All overhead tanks are a big, big security risk in case of disturbances ie Riots, genocides, wars and its advisable not to use them ( El )
