Glad you could get the water, I used to buy water because it was cheap but since I am on my own I boil up water then put it in a plastic container in my fridge and I have plenty of water for a while and then just boil again,

Wow, very good. We both got water we need. We've hurricane watch too, and one important thing, our emergency kit, must have is water to last at least 2 weeks. June 1 - Nov 30, troy is hurricane watch season annually.

@oahuwriter Some things are from nature, some things are human things . . . I hope all of that gets resolved (we are there with you on the drought!).

Yes. Plus we had a water issue between Navy & Oahu. Fuel leaked into water system, where it's called, Red Hill. Long story short, now Red Hill closed, fuel line will be far from water lines. Lots of water flushing went in some communities and Navy housing. This and already, strained drought already going on, brought, water conservation order.

It's all cleared up. Navy resisted. But from Congress came backup for approval of closing Red Hill, where leak happened for water safety. And, if needed, President Biden would be notified, if Navy, didn't comply with Board of Water Supply, BWS, to close Red Hill & relocate fuel line.
Lots of y got flushed, cleaning water lines, people got sick both military & residents. Navy homes plagued with problem was relocated to hotel.

So why stock up water bottles?
How about just buy a gallon?

Glad to hear you were able to get some. I'll be putting water on the shopping list soon, myself because I'm trying to get in the habit of drinking a bottle a day.
