HOWEVER, I BELIEVE INCLUDING WATER TANKS INCLUDED IN PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS SERIOUS OVER-KILL. IF DURING AN EARTH QUAKE OUR TANK SPILLED ITS CONTENTS, 10,000 GALLONS OF CLEAN WATER WOULD MAKE ITS WAY DOWN THE MOUNTAIN INTO THE DRY FORK RIVER. THIS WOULD NOT BE AN ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER. THE EXISTING LAW SHOULD BE AMENDED TO EXEMPT PUBLIC WATER TANKS. I FULLY SUPPORT THE LEGISLATION TO CERTIFY AND REGISTER TANKS CONTAINING POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS MATERIAL.
