Well, I'm on city water, even living out in the country. There is already chlorine in the water. When filling the barrels, I did put in about 1/2 cup of non-scented bleach in the 55 gallon drums.
I rotate each year. If worse came to worse, I have jugs of non-scented bleach available, and will boil the water for drinking/eating/washing purposes. I envision my water supply would last 30 days easily, and I'll use a Katadyn later to purify water from a couple of nearby water sources.
