TYPES OF CONT AINERS Glass, plastic and metal containers are commonly used for water storage at home. Containers should be clean and sanitary. Glass containers are breakable and somewhat heavy compared to plastic, but they are not permeable to vapors and gases; however, water in glass containers should not be stored near gasoline, kerosene, pesticides, or similar substances. If plastic containers are used, care should be taken to assure that they are made of plastic approved for food. Generally, polyethylene plastics are safe for storing water. They include pop bottles, commercial water storage bottles and bags. Containers which have previously been used for food storage-pobottles, fruit bottles, syrup bottles, etc. may be used for storing water, but must be thoroughly cleaned first. Certain types of plastic containers are not recommended for drinking water storage, ie. chlorine bleach bottles, and most plastics in waterbeds (but perhaps the water could be used for bathing.) The disposable, plastic milk bottle is one example of a common polyethylene plastic container, but it is and tends to develop leaks easily. Some metals, such as stainless steel, can be successfully used for water storage. The metal should be resistant to rust, and even then, a metallic taste can be picked up by the stored water in some types p thin-walle- d Memmott J 7i?lliDmu TREATMENT FOR STORED WATER THE WATER FOR STOR-AG- E. The containers should be clean. Pay special attention to the container lids. They should be sanitized to the same extent as the container. If treatment is necessary to sanitize and disinfect water for long term storage, follow one these two methods: A. Heat Treatment - One effective way to store water is in clean canning jars. Fill clean canning jars to the top with water which has been boiled in a vigorously rolling boil for 5 minutes. The jars take the same space to store empty as full. B. Chlorine Treatment - Liquid chlorine bleach can be used to disinfect water for long-terstorage. One gallon can be treated by the addition of 14 teaspoon of liquid chlorine bleach containing 4 to 6 percent sodium hypochlorite (most bleaches contain 5.25 percent). This is equivalent to 16 drops of liquid chlorine bleach. (Storing water in empty bleach bottles is not recommended.) Be certain, when selecting a storage container for water, that it has a tight fitting cap or lid to prevent entrance of contaminants and evaporation of water. Because sunlight has an adverse effect on plastic, water should be stored away from direct exposure to sunlight. Sterilized or disinfected water stored in clean, food grade containers with secure lids or caps should be safe for use even after m years of storage. Stored water should be checked annually and if it becomes cloudy, or contaminated in some way, or if the container begins to leak, replace with fresh water and treat as before. m valleys deeper."
