The storage tank was for storing water. Obviously you don't want to run the well pump every time you flush the toilet.

Maybe you could get a bigger one if you have a large family, but I've never heard of one that would be large enough to dump that much water except for mountainside cabins that are too far from the water table for a well in the first place.
