We don't live long enough to gain firsthand experience with every situation.

BoatUUS insurance division has seen a lot of stuff, mostly when there has been a problem. They have seen boats sink from city water and a failed boat water system and they have written about it in the BoatUS magazine.

BTW: I have personally experienced a failure where the boat's PEX came out of a fitting and dumped the contents of my water tanks into the bilge (and the river by way of the bilge pump). Fortunately, there was no city water connection so it was just a matter of moving the water from the tanks to the bilge. No additional water.
