About this file
This is a Cistern Inspection Report documenting the structural and operational condition of a water cistern facility. The inspection identifies multiple areas requiring attention, including soft joint caulking between precast panels that is inadequate in some locations, a transition area where a precast wall section previously collapsed and was repaired with cast-in-place construction, and standing water accumulation in both the pit near the drain and the cistern floor despite recent non-use. The report documents observations of the transfer box area on the clean side, inflow pipe conditions showing water flowing around the exterior of the pipe due to joint water tightness deficiencies, and multiple weepholes with sediment formation visible at floor joints between precast modules, with unclear sealing integrity of bottom joint seams.
The inspection also notes water intrusion at the manhole access point in the dirty side of the cistern, visible between the cistern lid and manhole walls, suggesting potential groundwater or irrigation water infiltration above the system. The overall condition assessment indicates the cistern requires repairs to address caulking deficiencies, joint water tightness issues, and groundwater infiltration problems to restore proper operational function and prevent further deterioration of the precast and cast-in-place structural components.

Photographs Observations
View of soft joint/caulk infill between precast panels.
The caulk appears to be in adequate shape in most, but not all, observed areas.
View of transition from precast wall to cast-in-place portion of wall that was repaired after precast portion collapsed.
Standing water in the bottom of pit near drain.
View of floor of cistern holding a few inches of standing water. No rain had recently been reported but the cistern is not in use.
View of “transfer box” area on
“clean side” with weir holes visible at top of wall.
Area appears to be holding little standing water.
View of inflow pipe into clean side.
Water appears to be flowing slowly around the outside of the pipe indicating lack of joint water tightness and/or groundwater issues.
View of floor of cistern at joint between two precast modules.
A “weephole” with sediment forming around it is visible in the middle of the photo.
View of floor of cistern at joint between two precast modules.
Two “weepholes with sediment forming around them are visible in the middle of the photo. It is unclear to what extent the seams of the bottom joints are sealed for water tightness.
View of manhole access point in the middle of the “dirty side” of the cistern.
Water appears to be intruding into the cistern between the cistern lid and the walls of the manhole. This may indicate a groundwater or irrigation water leak above the system.
