Treated water needs to be protected from recontamination with a good storage container.

A separate drinking water container should only be used to store treated water. Use a different container for dirty water and use it only for untreated source water.

A good storage container has the following features:

• Strong and tightly fitting lid or cover

• Tap or narrow opening

• Stable base

• Durable

• Comfortable handle

• Allows air to enter as water is poured

• Should not be translucent

These features of a good storage container will prevent recontamination.

A clear storage container, placed in the sun, may become dirty very quickly. Place the storage container in a shady place within the home. It should be stored off the ground in a clean place.

Sometimes it is difficult to find or buy a good storage container. The most important things are to make sure that it is covered and only used for treated water .

Check for Understanding:

• What is a good water storage container? Why?

• Where can you get a good water storage container?

• Why should we keep our hand and fingers out of the storage container?

• Why does a good storage container have a lid?
