Question for the pros?
Article starts out by saying “those of us not fortunate to have our own well”.
We have 3 on the property one deep two shallow,can we leave H20 out of our prepping?
The shallow can be accessed through the top with a bucket on a rope should the power go out(old fashioned way)
I’d say no, it can be reduced but not left out. What if the well goes dry, gets polluted or you end up having to bug out.
So, no.
Reduce yes, but keep a week's worth of water inside. Two would be better.
Have you had it tested? Even testing good I would still I would treat it especially for drink and cooking.
The pump runs on electricity, right? If that goes out so does your water source. (Been there, done that!)
I’m not worried about private wells. Sure, anything can happen but those with wells are light years better off than those having to rely on containers.
