Option #3 For extended periods of time in your house in city environments.
It is recommended you store 1 gallon per person per day. That does no include showering drinking only.
55 gallon water drums with a manual pump. Price is around $70.00
A cheaper option is to find them on Craig's list. Make shure it is food grade.
Another cheaper option is Walmart. They sell water containers 5-6 gallon for around $8.00.
Option #4 Toilets and Water heaters make shure you boil the water.
Option #5 If you live in the country rule areas etc. Rivers Lakes Streams and ponds. Never drink the water out of any of these places without boiling or filtering the water.
The reason I mention Rule areas and not city areas it could be to dangerous in certain situations to leave your homeif you live in larger cities.
