Abstract

A wooden water tank for a building has a wooden tank wall, a tank bottom and a wooden dividing wall across the tank defining at least two water compartments. There are attachments between the foregoing parts, and leak preventing connections between parts. Each wall is a sequential series of staves or boards secured together for leak prevention. The staves of the circumferential tank wall extend vertically. The staves of the dividing wall extend horizontally. The staves are all pressed together so that neighboring staves are sealed to each other preventing leakage through the walls. There are hoops and hoop segments around the circumferential wall, and connections to the hoops press the staves of the circumferential wall toward each other for sealing.
