Most all of the tanks are stream fed. That being said. In Colorado and Northern New Mexico, The rule of thumb is " Don't Drink it if it isn't from a Municipal, or known Well source, with out treating it first.

Here is a link that better explains it.

Though most ground water wells are thought to be safe, it's not always the case. A miner friend got giardiasis from a deep/ deep spring out of the mine face, inside a Silverton Mine.
