Water Storage from LDS.org

You’re supposed to store 1 gallon of water per day per person in your 72 hour kit. Here’s what the Church says on Water Storage:

Store drinking water for circumstances in which the water supply may be polluted or disrupted.

If water comes directly from a good, pretreated source, then no additional purification is needed; otherwise, pretreat water before use. Store water in sturdy, leak-proof, breakage-resistant containers. Consider using plastic bottles commonly used for juices and soft drinks.

Keep water containers away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

We try and buy at least 4 gallons of water each time we go to Wal-Mart. It doesn’t add too much to the overall bill and we get to add to our stash of water and slowly reach our needed amount for the 3 month and then the 1 year mark. Just an idea, try it and tell us how it goes.
