A heater ( 10 ) for installation on a potable water tank ( 12 ). The heater ( 10 ) comprises a blanket ( 14 ) including an electrical resistance heating element ( 16 ) and a connection pad ( 18 ) for electrically connecting the heating element ( 16 ) to lead lines ( 20 ) to an aircraft power source ( 22 ). The water tank ( 12 ) is typically positioned under the cabin floor or other locations on an aircraft which are susceptible to cold temperatures, moisture invasion, and pressure drops/rises caused by changing altitudes. The heater ( 10 ) maintains the tank ( 12 ) at an acceptable temperature range and prevents freezing of the water.
