    I've got a little less than 30 gallons of water. All in 2 liter soda bottles. What a pain.

    Between 1 gallon jugs, and cases of water, i've got just over twenty gallons, for myself and my girlfriend. About 90% of the water is unopened drinking water, the other is refilled gallon jugs from the tap. I plan to continue stocking a couple gallons a week, until I run out of room.

    We had empty 2 liters completely covering the tops of our cupboards for a few months. I got fed up with them one day and cleaned them all and filled with water to stick under the house. Glad I did it, because it doubled our water.

    I have always used barrels for storage. Currently have 3 55 gallon blue plastic drums in the garage full. Nowhere near enough for a year but enough to last until another ource is found.

    Yeah and if you want to get your blood warm look up how many states have made water filtration illegal. Then stop posting about potentially illegal activities.

    Don't forget, you need to 'rotate' your water, and you might have to put chlorine tabs in it, every 6 months or so, not sure of the exact time. It won't store for one year in a plastic bottle 'safe', I know that.

    They changed the law in 2009. You can collect rainwater with these restrictions:
    • Harvesting takes place on residential property
    • The owner of the property has a legal entitlement to a well
    • No water is provided in the area by a water district or a municipality
    • The roof is the only location collecting rainwater
    • The collected rainwater is put to uses explicitly permitted in the well permit
    IMHO any laws making rain water collection illegal are ridiculous, but such things happen in a society that tries to assign ownership rights to everything imaginable.
