If water supply becomes contaminated, you can either boil water for one minute or make water safe with bleach.
Here is how:
If tap water is clear:
1. Add eight drops of household unscented liquid bleach to one gallon of water.
2. Mix well and wait 30 minutes or more before drinking.
If tap water is cloudy:
1. Add 16 drops of unscented household liquid bleach to one gallon of water.
2. Mix well and wait 30 minutes or more before drinking.
In addition:
- Never mix bleach with ammonia or other cleaners.
- Open windows and doors to get fresh air when you use bleach.
