Not see this posted anywhere on here. So for the attention of anybody boating on the S&K, you might like to fill up somewhere else. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-36932516 Thousands of people in South Yorkshire are expected to remain without tap water over the weekend after high levels of bacteria were found.Yorkshire Water said disruption to 3,600 properties in Thorne near Doncaster would continue while work to flush out pipes was completed. |

I have been in Thorne today, apparently yesterday people where fighting over bottled water. Amazing how quickly the thin veneer of civilization disappears.

Amazing how quickly the thin veneer of civilization disappears. ...and 3 meals away from anarchy apparently. No I reckon a couple of days without drinkable water would do it. A good quality portable water filter might be a good investment! |

Slow sand filters with activated charcoal are the way to go. No exspensive hard to get filter elements to replace.

Yes silver is good, but not the only option. Slow sand filters are the best low tech post apocalyptic choice.
