Second definition in my dictionary Tank: 2. a natural or artificial pool, pond, or lake.
Going up in Texas we always call the pond on a ranch, a stock tank.

Such hose allowance shall be considered in evaluating the available water supplies. Seems like it’s only private fire service mains and tanks. Can someone set me straight?
