Clean well, refill ever o often. I use kitty litter jugs, some at least 5
gallon. I treated with chlorine after filling. Right next to storage is 40
gallon hot water heater. More water. I could have really used a medicine
dropper, will get one.

I got water as above. It's a long walk to the river.

Greg

For long term survival, a water filter would be nice, and a rainwater
collector.

Greg

Just boil it.

That does not remove contaminants and odor.

Fresh polyethylene or polypropylene clay kitty litter buckets are easy to
clean, unlike containers containing strange liquids, and small lids.
Sometimes I buy the 40 pound plastic containers with handles, and snap lid.
There are also 27 pound, and smaller containers with large lids. I just
bought a large plastic kitty food container.

Are rivers in America so polluted?
The main danger is faecal bacteria.

You Limeys did a pretty good job cleaning up The Thames. Perhaps you
could share your superior knowledge with us poor ignorant colonists
about keeping our environment in pristine condition and the practice
of good personal hygiene? Maybe you could train some dentists for
us too? ^_^

Most of the cleanup happened spontaneously when certain industries
disappeared.
Over the last twenty years there has been major improvements/upgrades
to sewage treatment plants.

There are still major problems when there is heavy rain, in some areas
the surface water and sewage is in common drains
