Abstract
The US Environmental Protection Agency released its Storage Tank Assessment Study Protocol in 2021 as an optional tool to help water utilities gauge water quality issues. Knowledge about the complexity of storage tank ecosystems and associated potential public health risks can be included in water management programs. Pilot‐scale and field‐based testing with genomic data yielded insights into biogeochemical processes of tank ecosystems that can help utilities minimize bacterial growth.
