water storage?

[HoneyBadger]

Still illegal inconsequential in most cases

I don't intend on making this a rain barrel debate. However, we are composed of mostly water. I need water to survive. I cannot live without water for long at all.

If there were AIR shortages, would anyone recognize laws that prevent me from capturing air to save for my survival during AIR shortages? Just a thought.

I wouldn't put it past them...

Valid point. Until then, I like to have at least a few cases of bottled water in the basement or garage because grabbing a bottle of water before hopping in the car for a 45 minute commute is really convenient. Seems innocent enough, right?

Yes, but if you filled that water bottle from the sky, you are a criminal.

Sounds like a dumb law. Shouldn't we tell somebody about it? Like our elected officials that are supposed to have our best interests in mind? Ohh wait those elected officials voted down the water collection bill in committee.

Sounds like we should write our city council folks until they get tired of hearing about it. That's basically how they lifted the chicken ban in Aurora. Or... you know that saying, something about forgiveness vs permission...

I used to make fun of people for buying bottled water, and still do, but now that I stand on roofs all day, having a case in the car at all times is the new normal. I drink a few a day, take the empties inside, refill them, mark the lids, and toss them back in the car. I usually toss them after a few uses and that helps the case last longer. I just bought two cases of 40, 16.9 oz bottles of water from Costco yesterday for under $4.00 EACH. Even if you bought only one or two of those a month and stacked them in the corner of your garage (or slid them under the bed), you'd soon run out of room.

I like the out of sight out of mind mentality myself.

I have two 55 gal drums in the basement and also stock several cases of my preferred drinking water - Aquafina - that we get mostly when it's on sale.

Be careful stocking gallon or larger water jugs as I've had several degrade and leak, ruining the (mdf) shelving and creating a bit of a mold mess that had to be cleaned up.

I've also taken to stocking a case of bottled water in the freezer as one other poster mentioned. They get rotated whenever we head out in the RV as it's a great way to save on ice in the coolers. Pack a few bottles around the beers and what have you and then lay on some ice. With the 7-day coolers I have, it keeps a very long time even as we add hot beers to them. If we have room in the RV freezer/fridge we throw them in there too to ease the propane use while on the road.

Oops, a few bottles a day.

[Great-Kazoo]

I need to make another trip as well. Get a couple cases of whatnot.

They no longer carry whatnot. BUT. i heard they may start stocking dontcares
