We have a deep, deep well (state tested to be pure/clean) that we get our water from. My unscientific method is to draw water, store it in gallon plastic jugs and if nothing has 'grown' in it after a few months, it's good. Now ... for years and years of storage??? don't know. We do keep 10 - 12 gallons set aside in case power lines go down for a few days and have never had any problems using that stored water. For really long term storage, adding some cs or iodine would probably be prudent. Lola H. On Sun, Oct 19, 2014 at 6:23 PM, TJ Garland <[email protected]> wrote:
