In over 10 years of fieldwork and testing, 7C's staff has inspected, evaluated and sampled numerous water storage sites. During this period 7C's independent laboratory analyzed both treated and untreated samples of stored water submitted from schools, businesses and others concerned with safe storage of their emergency water. 7C's released the following findings:

• Potentially high bacteria counts in stored water present a very dangerous situation. While algae and slime may be obvious visually, dangerous bacteria may go unnoticed!
• In most of the samples tested with high bacteria counts, there was NO apparent indication the water was unsafe--the water was clear and had no disagreeable odor or taste.

• Any water storage container, new or old, carries bacteria on its surfaces. Additional bacteria and other contaminants can be introduced into the water from the air, a filling hose, the hands of a person, and other sources. Bacteria in the water can then multiply inside the container and make the water unsafe to drink.
