Aircraft in the US can be tested monthly, if they are tested once a year, that would be impressive, they can go years without being tested. The tanks ARE generally disinfected perhaps twice a year on average (which is way better than it used to be). In short, stay away from the tank water.
This.
I've been told by CC that they would never drink the tank water because of tank sanitation concerns.
