Denver+Bottled Water Availabilitygreenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread |
Report of bottled water being unavailable.Not that people are buying it up, but that grocers said unable to get delivery, and are now selling empty bottles.
This a rumor for now, but you might want to check it out if you happen to live nearby.

I've been saving empty plastic bottles, all sizes, since April of 1998. I now have several hundred. Turns out that filling them all with tap water, & stashing them safely, is rather time-consuming!Just hope we don't actually need any of it.

I fill and treat my water as I go. Less time consuming and by filling the bottles and letting them sit, you discover which ones have holes in them. I have jugs that I filled 1-1/2 years ago and it's still good. I plan to retreat the water when I am ready to use it. My water is stored in a cool dark place.

Bard,What do you use for treating the water? If it is bleach, how much per gallon? If not bleach, what alternative and where do you get it?
I know they used "pills" of something during WWII in asia, but I can't remember the name of it?
Sorry, I know that was answered on another thread. Should have paid attention!

maid, rather than relying on others, why don't you do a little research. Won't take long, and then you'll feel confident of what you're doing.Start at: Millennium Ark. You'll find a section on water, and a good link to purification.
You'll also find a lot more information on finding water should it be a problem.
