How long can water be stored?
Replace your stored water every six months. You can do it when you reset your clocks to and from daylight savings time. Label your stored water containers with the date it was stored. Specially sealed, airtight pouches of water may be stored up to five years (check the label). These may be purchased where earthquake supplies are sold.
If stored properly, water has a shelf life of two years. Water should be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place. It should be stored away from substances such as gasoline, chemicals, detergents and cleaning supplies. Water is so pure that it will pick up odors that cannot be detected in the air. Is bottle water regulated? The bottled water industry is regulated by both the federal and state government. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations coupled with state standards offer consumers assurance that the bottled water they drink is clean, safe, stringently tested and of the highest quality.

If stored properly, water in 3-litre and 5-litre containers can be stored for approximately two years. Smaller containers of 1 litre up to 2.5 litres of water are made with a thinner grade of plastic and can be stored for approximately six months. They cannot be stored as long, because they are very susceptive to penetrating odours.
