if i can include my pond and my neighbor's pond (neighbor leases property and gave me access/full use of spring fed pond) as part of my stash, then yes. the other type of storage of non potable water would be rainwater that is captured in barrels.

13,000 gallons in the back yard.

I will be putting up 60 gallons tomorrow. When the last power outtage happened, I had lots and lots of drinking water, and nothing to flush the toilet with! I am going to clean out 15gallon barrels I will be using and make sure the water is at least clean enough to wash with as well as flushing and other chores.

Since I don't have a heated garage, the crawl space will have to suffice for 3 out of the 4 barrels. It will be heavy (120lbs) to get them out, but I will put a pulley in to make it easier.

Sure, you can quickly make it potable with a reverse osmosis filter.
