The idea of calling the city is very good and very important. You just have to reach the right office and ask thoroughly who can give proper information.
How did the tanks become silted up?
As the owner, she was obligated to have the tanks decommissioned by a specialized company. Ask for the documents and the company name and get in touch with the company to find out how they assess the tanks. They can certainly also tell you directly what it would cost to dispose of the entire tank system.
Personally, I wouldn’t want to live on top of a tank. The question is also whether they don’t eventually (after about 30 years or so) rust through and then have to be removed anyway.
Mentally, you might actually have to prepare yourself for the disposal of the old tanks. To what extent the surrounding soil is affected will probably only be known after dismantling. How old is the soil assessment? Have them give you a complete copy. Just viewing it is not enough.
According to the owner, the tanks were silted up and are still available underground. They would probably have to be excavated along with the cellar, right?
