Climate change is even effecting stored treated drinking water. Microbes love heat. More heat means more microbe growth. Over time water storage tanks and towers accumulates sediment. The sediment may become a habitat for bacteria, protozoa and viruses. Keeping tanks free of sediment has become more important than ever. Keeping tanks free of heat loving microbes will become a major challenge for water utility managers in the future. See: www.cleanwatertankproject.org
