A few buildings, like the World Trade Center before it was hit by terrorists, used electrical pumps alone to bring water up from the city's underground pipes. In order for water to be supplied to the topmost floors of a building, the electrical pumps have to run relentlessly. The efficiency of rooftop tanks is found in the fact that there is no need for electrical pumps to continuously bring water to the rooftop from the bottom because they keep a certain volume of water stored. Each floor's water supply is provided for by gravity. The ordinary water tank is 12 feet in height, has a capacity of 10000 gallons and is positioned on a 20foot steel frame. The height makes tank work on a windy day dangerous if not impossible.

A rooftop tank must be set up on the roof itself using redwood or cedar staves and galvanized iron hoops. During winter, the party hat shaped cover traps air inside to keep the tank insulated and on ordinary days, it protects the tank from rain, snow and contaminants. These tanks are watertight through the hoops that press in and the water that presses out.
