Do we know the source of the water for the IS tanks?  City supply or out of the creek itself or perhaps a spring? There are various examples of railroads moving structures from one place to another. Could this be the case here where the tank was relocated for some reason. Perhaps related to a supply of clean water? The water in Clear Creek west of IS was likely cleaner than the water on the east side of IS.

So, perhaps the tank was moved and reused by mounting it on the new cast support structure.
