Corner Water Storage Containers

Discovered a new product today at Honeyville Grain. Check out these new 30-gallon Corner Water Storage Containers. Are they cool or what?!

They are taller and skinnier than the standard blue water storage containers and take less floor space to store. These would fit nicely in the corner of a closet or the corner of any room.

Each one has a place near the bottom of the container where you can attach a hose and easily drain the water. They also have a place to attach a spigot about two feet up from the base so you can easily fill a smaller container. At the top of the container is an opening with a lid where you fill the container with water. I believe they come in there different colors: natural, granite, and ?

I tried looking for them on their website, but was unable to find them. The product may be too new to be showing up as of yet. You can try calling them at (888)810-3212 for more information.

Important Concepts to Remember

Found an article entitled "Seven Major Mistakes in Food Storage" by Vicki Tate at LDS Living Magazine. The article covers "seven important concepts to remember while planning your food storage program." There is also a "Getting Started" segment. Below that is some helpful information regarding "Water Storage" authored by Scott Pedersen, Vicki Tate, and Barry Crockett.

Speaking of water storage...many thanks to my wonderful husband for finding a home for our two 55 gallon water barrels purchased a few weeks ago! He made room by the water heater in our home and built a platform to keep them off the floor. My sweet daughter helped me wash and rinse them out. (That is a task I'm grateful to have completed -- although it was kind of fun to roll them back and forth on the floor while we were rinsing them out.) My husband filled them with fresh water after they were positioned in their final resting place. It feels great to have that project completed!
