Have you ever given it much thought on how to properly store bottled water at home? Here are some quick tips to keep in mind, especially in the case of a power outage or an emergency:
- Check expiration dates before storing for long periods of time
- Rotate your stock to use the water with the closest expiration date
- Label large containers as “drinking water”
- Avoid areas of direct sunlight when storing water
- Avoid storing water near areas with contaminants such as gasoline and pesticides
- Keep water stored in a place with a fairly constant cool temperature (CDC-c)
