WATER SAFETY

More flooding from heavy rain caused by climate change will undoubtedly mean that water supplies will be contaminated at times. To purify it:

Add 1/4 tsp of bleach to one gallon of water (8-16 drops)

Double it if the water is cloudy

Shake, let stand 30 minutes

Immediately after treating it should have a slight chlorine smell. If not, repeat

The smell goes away in a few days

Store the water in the dark
