Maintaining Potable Water Supply Post-Flood/Storm

[Straight Shooter]

One of the things i have done (deliberately) when i build my brew shed ....was not to connect to the main water supply (which is easy to do ) my main reason was to see what that would mean and how would that effect me ....water is heavy.... so i used a two wheeled stack trolley to transport a 25 ltr and a 10 ltr water jack , over to the main house (about 120 yards ) i was amazed by the results and how much we take this resource for granted at least i did .....boiling water....electric kettle or via a stock pot on the lpg gas stove, you soon learn how to conserve water and reorganise your activities ....in short you do not waste it, i have a stream running 8 ft away from the belfast sink so i could use that via a tank up the hill a ways and pipe in to the shed ...but i would have to boil every pint of it .....but very easy doable even if i employed the wood stove i made in a shtf scenario and i do have a big boy Berkey and another two streams around the ground plus a well that has a sump holding thirty gallons .....i always keep those jacks full by the end of any day as a matter of coarse just in case i have to load them into the bo trailer or 4x4 sharpish with regards to PR they had fair warning and should have prepared better imho.
