(Date them on top) with a sticky label. Only-Do a few at a time-just in case your water supple gets turned off! lol One day I was doing this and my water (quit) flowing. No kidding. A guy- a few streets down was digging and you guessed it- he cut into right the line… The repair people were using a back hoe to dig it up so they could repair it. lol Water was out for 5 hours. Thank the good Lord I still had plenty… :-) I rinse out ALL of my water storage bottles (real good-with bleach/water) every 6 months. (Date them on top) with a sticky label.

I have a few blue 7 gallon and 15 gallons containers that say HDPE. Does that work? How often would you recommend refilling them? 6 months? 1 year? If I have city water, no need to add bleach?
