We keep three of the blue 55 gallon water containers filled and in our garage at all times plus a Big Berkey water filtration system. We filter every drop that comes out of our tap to get rid of the flouride and clorine and god knows what else thats in it.

Doesn’t the water need replacing periodically?

It's a lot cheaper doing it that way than buying it by the gallon bottle.

We have several WalMart 5 gallon frosting buckets ($2 each from the bakery) filled with tap water in the basement. It can be used for flushing, washing, or even drinking/cooking. We also keep a few dozen 1/2 gallon apple juice bottles we washed and filled with tap water for drinking. That suffices for our panic/emergency needs, and then we fall back on the bucket based water filter and a local pond.

Why wait until an emergency to pay big bucks for bottled emergency water when it is free right now with just a bit of foresight?
