cold water tank
Chilled storage vessel
A cold water tank is a storage vessel for unheated water, typically found in attics or utility spaces of buildings with gravity-fed plumbing systems.
The tank receives water from the mains and supplies cold water to taps, toilets, and often feeds the hot water cylinder.
Common in British homes, less so in American construction where direct mains pressure systems predominate.
