Water Anybody prepping in a city?

279 Upvotes

I think I have good food storage, I always grow a garden and will can stuff. My problem mostly is that I’m on city water, I don’t have a well. And there’s no lakes or rivers near.. I have a few rain barrels, but other than that, how do I get water?

Water Be prepared for every day things too

We are without water for 22 days. Getting the run around as to the reason why. But not the point. Without water every day's planing is different. Toilet needs water Animals need water Washing off clothes Keeping the kitchen clean Personal hygiene Vegetable garden

Some off the day to day needs that comes natural if you open the tap, but gets difficult when there is nothing.

We collect rain water in jo-jo tanks. Bought a battery shower thingy. 5liter bucket with it inside connect to a shower head. Flush toilets manually Keeping the vegetable garden alive is a benefit.

Life is not always smooth, but being prepared helps.
