Get a Berkefeld filter so you don’t get giardia.

It’s a fast moving Creek. Probably some purification drops would make it safer

#714 __ Get a Berkefeld filter so you don’t get giardia.

Better yet, get two or four Berkefeld replacement ceramic filters, and two food grade, 5-gallon or 6-gallon plastic buckets.
Install the filters in the bottom of the top bucket, drill a half-inch hole in the lid of the bottom bucket.
For half the price of the Berkefeld, you'll have 5 or 6 times the water supply.
