water water everywhere, and none safe enough to drink.
Like everything else your location will dictate the sources of your survival.
If you are unlucky enough to be in the city, water will be everywhere, good drinkable treated water.
same place you will find it in the more rural areas as well. when the pressure stops pushing water there is still gallons of it in every home. People will die of dehydration without thinking of it.
In the pipes, and hot water heater. whats really cool is there is a bib on the bottom of every one of them to get the water out.
(timing ................... up to 3 months, possibly 6 months.) here is the fact though, even at 6 months it will be better than the filth of rotten carniage that will be flowing in the waterways of a city.
If you are in the country, you should already have your sources identified. You should also have implements in place to purify your water, sand filters/charcoal filters, bleach or iodine .
For those who hope to escape into the country, there is iodine tablets etc. small charcoal cartrages. It needs to be known that 90 % of American waters are unfit to drink as it is. Pollutants as well as microbes are waiting for you. Gyardia, dysentery, hepatitis, and hookworms for a start, one case of (beaver fever) lol and you are done, you will not have energy to walk, you have most likely become a victim.
Distilation is the best, but it takes time and fire, boiling second best, takes time and fire. chemical 3rd best, tastes bad but can be done on the hoof.
Remember there will be others out there in same need as you, want to meet them, build a fire, LOL. That pot of water will be worth more than your life, to someone whom does not have a pot.
Most parts of America, there are vines, grape vines or others. cut the high end first, then the lower to get water from them.
If you dont know the difference between poisonous vines, and nonpoisonous find out, I can just see somebody sucking on a poison ivy vine right now.
