If the usage within a building is greater than the mains supply can deliver, creating a loss in pressure when other items are using water, eg. you loose pressure in your bathroom when the washer or sink in your kitchen is being used, this indicates you may need a cold water storage tank, A cold water storage tank is used for the storage of large amounts of water from which the building is supplied with water.
