Why is some drinking water stored in large tanks high above the ground?

Two reasons: First, this type of water storage ensures that water pressure and water volume are sufficient enough to fight fires, even if the electricity that normally pumps water is turned off. The second reason is to provide an extra source of drinking water during the day, when water use is high. The water storage tanks are refilled at night when drinking water use is low.
