My brother and I are putting some finishing touches on a water tower we are building, and it raised a question. How often would the crews need to get inside the tank?

The tower we are building had a ladder that was moved to the opposite side of the roof from the door; which would require someone to walk the steep roof to the other side to get inside. My assumption was that entering the tank happened rare enough that relocating the roof door was not worth the trouble.
