The Philadelphia Water Department is now encouraging residents to store tap water — instead of buying bottled water in stores — after hazardous materials spilled into the Delaware River. The recommendation comes after officials said Sunday afternoon that water in the city will remain safe to drink through Monday evening at 11:59 p.m.
“We advise people that they can drink their tap water. There’s no need to buy water.” Mike Carroll, deputy managing director for the city’s Office of Transportation, Infrastructure and Sustainability said in a virtual news conference Sunday evening. “If they want to store water, they should store water from their tap in a bottle or pitcher and they can stick it in their fridge or refrigerator and it will be fine for them to drink”

How To Store Tap Water For Survival
WATER
You turn on the faucet and there it is: as much water as you could possibly want. But then, as a prepper, you think, “What about the day when I turn it on and nothing comes out?”
Many people buy bottled water for their stockpile, and that’s fine, but you can also store tap water for survival and it won’t cost you a dime beyond your monthly water bill, if you have one.
There are some precautions that you need to take, but otherwise, turn on the tap, fill your containers, and store away!
Use Clean Containers
Even a few bacteria will quickly travel and multiply in room temperature water. That’s why they say to turn the sink in a public bathroom on and off with a towel. Even if you’re the only one who drank out of the bottle, the contents of the bottle can spoil and contaminate the tap water stored in it and make it undrinkable.
To avoid this, run the containers through the dishwasher using the hot water cycle, or clean them with hot soapy water just like you do your canning jars. It’s important to use containers that are easy to clean and don’t have little nooks and crannies that can harbor bacteria.
