after living in and around communities with poor access to drinkable water (sometimes due to municipal mismanagement and “unprecedented” disaster on top of historic poverty), i got in the habit of buying legit water containers and devoting like a third of my fridge volume to storing tap water. i would tell people it’s like a thermal mass to cut down on energy usage or that i like water cold, but it’s really about paranoia: i want to always have like 3-5 gallons of drinkable water in case of some shit like this. if i told someone that 10 years ago, they would think i was nuts. probably less so today.
i wonder if urbanized people in normal developed countries do shit like this.
