So here in the suburbs there are not a lot of good places to store those 55 gallon or larger water barrels so I have used the 6 gallon and 7 gallon plastic jugs produced by Reliance, a firm from Canada. Another reason to use the smaller containers is to move them to another location if it should be necessary.
Today I was rotating some of the water jugs that had been stored for 13 months. One, actually my oldest jug, dating back to April of 2010 sprang a pinhole leak. It was in a creased area that had been damaged a few years ago when I banged it against a door sill.
All in all, I have been happy with the Reliance products, just want to warn you that if you do manage to bend or crease one, keep an eye on it for possible leaking.
