as the tap water is not any more suitable for drinking we always order mineral water. but this sunday they close earlier than they do on weekdays. so we are already running out of stock of bottled water. so i would just later on on 7/11 which is open 24 hours daily. in case the water left in the container would suffice enough till morning when the mineral station would open. so i hope it will be enough throughout the whole night because it is more expensive when you buy bottled water on 7/11.

The worst thing in this life is buying drinking water. We should be ashamed of such a situation. This all happened due to the greed of mankind.
We should persuade the Government to take stringent efforts to provide protected drinking water and at the same time we should also take part in saving water.
We should not make water bodies as a dump yard for wastes. It all happened due to the carelessness of us.
We should start harvesting rain water and recharge the ground water.
Necessary steps should be taken to protect the available water resources.

we usually have gallons delivered to us as our drinking water... well my mom makes sure we never have to buy bottled water, we just get a gallon to our house every week and well its always better to have extra than lack something as important as drinking water. its really dangerous to ran out of water especially with the heat now its summer in the Philippines.

It is such a shame that the water from your home tap is dangerous to drink. In Argentina I bought a six liter huge bottle of water. It seemed to last me many days. The one and two liter bottles of water can be expensive at a 7/11 type of shop. I hope that you will have enough water until the morning. I recommend having a few bottles of water in reserve in case you get short of water to drink again.

Hi hotsummer, is the tap not suitable to taste or is it
indeed dangerous like previously stated in a previous
post here...
I can imagine the bottled water very inexpensive at a7/11.
I guess its important that you make sure you don't run out of
drinking next time...we MUST pay attention to important thing
in our life....
Blessins!!!!

Hello there hotsummer. I wish that your water supply will not run off. You should have more storage of drinking water in order for you not to experience this problem again. Indeed, water bought from convenience stores could be quite pricey sometimes. Likewise, try to conserve your water supply, use it only in important purposes.
