Storage tanks around me are all covered, at least all the one I remember 
are. This includes ones used or emergency fire fighting. Uncovered ones 
would be very rare in my country due to the possibility of contamination 
by drowned animals, dirt, dust, tree leaves and tree limbs. There are 
probably regulations about them being covered to prevent the breading of 
mosquitos! So would think covered is part of being a storage tank at 
least here.
