Findings Reported:
"Untreated water stored for as little as
one year may be unsafe to
drink!"
In over 10 years of fieldwork and
testing, 7C's staff has inspected,
evaluated and sampled numerous water
storage sites. During this period 7C's
independent laboratory analyzed both
treated and untreated samples of stored
water submitted from schools, businesses
and others concerned with safe storage
of their emergency water. 7C's released
the following findings:
"Extremely high bacteria counts, black
and green algae, and slime were present
in containers stored for as little as
one year. In all the cases of
contamination studied, untreated tap
water had been used for storage."
IMPORTANT FACTS
-
Potentially high bacteria counts in
stored water present a very
dangerous situation. While algae and
slime may be obvious visually,
dangerous bacteria may go unnoticed!
-
In most of the samples tested with
high bacteria counts, there was
NO apparent indication the water was
unsafe--the water was clear and had
no disagreeable odor or taste.
-
Any water storage container, new or
old, carries bacteria on its
surfaces. Additional bacteria and
other contaminants can be introduced
into the water from the air, a
filling hose, the hands of a person,
and other sources. Bacteria in
the water can then multiply inside
the container and make the water
unsafe to drink.
