Question John. Where does your municipalities water currently come from? How about most municipalities? Resevoirs are built for a purpose, John. They are a "reserve" of water, hence their name "resevoir". Since it good enough to drink outta your faucet after being treated with a little chlorine, it should be JUST FINE for folks to drink after being sterilized with a capful of bleach per gallon (and aeorated for a couple of days afterwards to evaporate the chlorine). If you run out of water, I suggest you and your neighbors get together, load up a pick-up truck with 5 gallon collapsible water jugs and go fill them up. I did just that same thing in 1982 when I lived for 4 months in the middle of winter, 17 miles outside of Fairbanks Alaska. We had no running water, only a blaze king stove for heat, and electricity for cooking (although we used the stove for cooking and melting ice for water). It can be done, John. It's just damn amazing how people get along without utilities when they have to. They've been doing in Belgrade and Kosovo for months now. Btw, what have you got against ice fishing?? It's not exactly rocket science. Regards, Ron
