Emergency Water Storage And Purification
Following are recommendations for storing and purifying water
supplies.
" The minimum drinking water supply is 1 gallon per person
per day. You will also need water for food preparation, bathing,
brushing teeth, and dish washing. Store a 3-5 day supply of water
(at least 5 gallons for each person).
" Water should be stored in sturdy plastic bottles with tight-fitting
lids. Rinsed chlorine bleach bottles work well. Plastic containers
for juice and milk do not work as well because they tend to crack
and leak more readily.
" Stored water should be changed every 6 months.
" Avoid placing water containers in areas where toxic substances,
such as gasoline and pesticides, are present. Vapors may penetrate
the plastic over time.
" Do not store water containers in direct sunlight. Select
a place with a fairly constant, cool temperature.
Safe Water Sources In The Home
If you do not have enough water stored, there are sources in your
home that may provide safe, clean water for drinking purposes.
" Water drained from the water heater faucet, if the water
heater has not been damaged.
" Water dipped from the tank of the toilet (not the bowl).
The water in the bowl can be used for pets. Do not use water that
has been chemically treated or "blue" water.
