POV: you’re inside a drained water tank!

Reddit wouldn’t let me post pics & videos together, so here’s the video side of it.

This is inside a water storage tank while it’s drained for cleaning. The echo in here is ridiculous, everything sounds bigger than it should.

Might try playing the Halo theme in here tomorrow just to see how it sounds echoing around!

You guys wanted more… so here’s more water tank pictures!

Didn’t expect my last post to get that much attention, so I figured I’d come back with more!

Got a bunch of photos and some videos, figured you all might appreciate seeing more of the process and just how neat these things really are. I apologize in advance for the quality of some it’s incredibly humid in some of the smaller ones.

For context, these are water storage tanks/clear wells that we drain, clean, disinfect, and bring back online. It’s only a couple months out of the year, but easily one of the most satisfying parts of my job.

I’m gonna try to get a clip tomorrow playing the Halo theme down there. I feel like that echo would sound amazing in a space like this!

If there’s anything specific you guys want to see let me know!

I have the most satisfying job for 2 months a year!

For about 2 months out of the year, this is my project at work! Draining, cleaning, and disinfecting these massive tanks & clear wells.

Most people don’t realize what the inside of a 6.5-9 million gallon water tank or clear well looks like!

There’s something insanely satisfying about cleaning a tank that looks like the first photo and turning it into the second. It’s basically pressure washing!

It’s not glamorous and definitely not easy, but honestly I love this time of the year at work.

Anyone else have a satisfying part of their job like this?
