An aircraft potable-water system (10) comprising an automatic valve (60) associated with an overflow line (50) and an automatic switch (70) associated with the storage tank (30). The switch (70) vents the storage tank (30) when it is not full, and automatically converts to a tank-pressurizing condition when the storage tank (30) is full. This conversion of the switch (70) causes the valve (60) to move to an overflow-open position so that excess potable water can be drained through the drainmast (18).
