Drinking water is essential... as over one hundred thousand people are finding out right now on the island of Oahu.

TL;DR: Water for nearly 100k people on the Navy's water system on Oahu is contaminated with JP-8. A fuel storage facility that sits just a few hundred feet over a major aquifer leaked thousands of gallons of jet fuel straight into the water system back in Nov. People could literally hold a lighter to their kitchen faucet and watch their tap water ignite - and there are many videos that show exactly this.

Fast forward to Jan.... The water is still undrinkable and for some completely unusable for showers, cleaning, laundry, etc.

So here's the big question: What is your plan for safe drinking water? How much water do you have stored in your house? How long will that last you?

The water in our house is safe for showering and good enough (as far as we can tell) for laundry and washing dishes. Many people cannot say the same. Our family (2 adults, 3 kids 9 and younger, and 2 dogs) has been consuming pretty consistently ~3 gal of water every day.

This is obviously a unique situation, but what would you do if your town lost access to safe water for 2+ months? I think *most* natural disaster type situations wouldn't require more than 2 weeks of water, but do you have enough drinkable water available?
