Default Leaking (rainwater) water barrels

I have two trash barrels that I use to hold water so I can flush the
toilet during a power outage when my well pump isn't working.

One has had a leak for the past few years. I just emptied it and put a
39 gallon lawn/leaf bag in it, folded it over the outside of the barrel
and secured it with a couple pieces of duct tape. Bag needs replacing
every few years as plastic deteriorates.


I love duct tape.
