If
you want to save space you can put the barrels upright, then put a
piece of plywood on top of them and store other things on top of that
(nothing real heavy). You still get pretty good space usage that way. Frankly that rack looks dangerous, those barrels would kill you if they fell on you.

There seams to be a lot of opinions on water storage. What color container, temp, etc. but almost no one agrees on length of time water can be stored safely. I found an additive called “Aerobic Stabilized Oxygen” by E.D. Goodloe sold at various emergency prep web sites. I found it for $15.00 one container 2.36 fl. treats 55 gallons for 5 year period. Bets emptying 55 gal drums every 6 months. But that just my opinion. Good luck all. See you on the other side of the meltdown.

Read back up through the comments here. The best price I have found is at Walmart.

Where can we find the 55g jugs reasonably priced?

And that’s SOME SERIOUS weight there too!!! Be careful.

At the American Fork Walmart, they are in (between the two sets of doors where the carts are) the Northwest entrance (the side with McDonald’s), on the left, immediately as you enter. I was just there yesterday and noted that the price is still $38 per barrel.

Wade,

Where exactly in Wal-Mart would the water barrels be? In what section would I find them?
