I'm looking for ways that individual households can make decisions confidently.
I understand that there are bacteriological tests that require 48 hours before results are known. If an individual household could perform those tests and stockpile a batch of potentially potable water over that 48-hour period, the results would indicate whether or not that stockpile was, or was not, potable.
Why don't we try that?
Edit: Or at least start trying to move toward that?
