Hmmmm, I was the victim of a burst water main yesterday, and had no water pumped into my apartment. Lots of lessons learnt i have to say, as water is without doubt, mans best friend. Without water, there is no life - Period. So, in the event of burst water mains, high water maintenance prices or bigger disruptions, please take some time to review the SODIS method from switzerland. The ethical swiss have discovered that clear plastic bottles containing water from wild sources, left in the sun for a period of time, can destroy all harmful organisms within the water, making it safe to drink, Wonderful!
This method is in use within South America and Africa, so its proven, and is a great survival technique in cases of water disruption within industrialised nations. It certainly saves energy in the processing and treatment of water at macro and micro scale, which is always a good thing. It almost makes you want to go off grid completely:-)
Best Wishes
SODIS
