Default Water tanks and soil born diseases

We, like a lot of allotment sites, have to use water tanks to fill our
watering cans. Someone on our site is using the tank near us as somewhere to
wash off soil from tools, produce and hands such that I dug out a thick
layer of mud from the bottom of the tank. My understanding is that if that
person has some soil born diseases on their plot (White Rot. Club Root) they
will spread it around the site by doing such things.
But am I right in that thinking?
