Seems like I recall hearing recently that some plastic water feed is failure prone and insurance companies weren't covering its use. I can't recall if it was due to chlorinating or not. Perhaps that was only one type and it has since been withdrawn from the market. It sure is easier than copper to work with though. A pressure tank and a backup generator for the pump etc. sure sounds easier than a water tower.

A thousand gallons storage sound like what is required for some commercial buildings that are outside of fire service areas around here so maybe that was the idea. I've thought about a 1,000 gray water storage tank for both fire protection and waste heat recovery myself.
