PROFESSIONAL CISTERN CLEANING
SOLUTIONS IN EDMONTON ALBERTA
The quality of water our families consume is crucial. A significant aspect of water quality is its storage method. For those using cisterns, it's vital to keep them clean, secure, and devoid of any contaminants that could compromise the water's quality
Alberta Health Services recommend that cisterns should be cleaned and disinfected annually and or following:
-
Construction, repair or maintenance work on the cistern
-
following changes in water clarity, color, odor or taste
-
Flooding in the area of an underground cistern
-
A period of non-use
-
Sampling which indicates the presence of bacteria

Many homeowners adopt an 'out of sight, out of mind' approach to their water cisterns. However, failing to perform regular maintenance can lead to sludge build-up, bio-film accumulation, and an environment conducive to harmful bacteria.
Some homeowners may think, "Only clean water enters the cistern, so how bad could it be?"
If you're uncertain about the need for cleaning, inspect the cistern when the water level is low. Should you observe sediment or debris at the bottom, as shown below, it's time for a cleaning.
IMPORTANT - CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED TO ENTER THE CISTERN
THE IMPORTANCE OF REGULAR CISTERN CLEANING IN EDMONTON
Water stored in a cistern may not necessarily be clean and potable. Hauled water may already be contaminated while in transit and even if the water has been treated, it can deteriorate during storage. Over time, the loss of chlorine residual can lead to microbial re-growth; sediments/sludge can accumulate in the cistern or animals or insects can fall in.
How could water in a cistern become contaminated?
The following problems could allow germs to get into a cistern and contaminate the water:
-
damage to cistern parts such as collars, lids, fill ports, or screened vents
-
damage to the structure
-
overland flooding
