We have a well, plus our property borders on a creek. I realize we can’t count on those 100% but that should have give us a head-start. People do not realize how much water they use until the power goes off and they suddenly have no water available. Having grown up as a “country girl”, I always have 10 to 12 gallons of water put up in the laundry room in case of power outage. That’s just the way I was taught. My grandmother always had a supply of emergency water (of course she got her water from the hand-pump well), and so did my mother. If the power went out now in your home, do you have ANY water put aside? (When storing water from your tap, always put in a drop or two of bleach to kill bacteria).

Damn, some people are stupid! I’ve drank from creeks all over the Rockies with nothing, just careful to drink upstream from the horses.

Hell, catch runoff water off the roof, use a tarp, water is not a problem in most areas. Fortunately most of the libs in California will die.

What about water storage in old GLASS 5 gallon bottles? Should it be tap and if so, how much bleach added? Or should it be distilled water instead with no bleach for long storage?

Yeah, I could look on the Internet but I'll ask here for starters. I have a few old GLASS 5 gallon Sparklett's water bottles.

I would imagine the old glass 5 gal bottles are in demand right now.. Swap meets are a good place to find those. Better to keep for LONG storage in GLASS rather than PLASTIC.

And run it thru a sand filter, then thru a Big Berkey. And have some sodium hypochlorite pool shock to make clean, fresh bleach.
