A good supply of clean water is a top priority in an emergency. Flooding can contaminate public water supplies and wells. If you are on public water, check with your water provider to be sure it is safe to drink. If you are on a private well and it was flooded, your well needs to be disinfected and the water tested. Visit the SCDES Well Water Quality Testing page for more information.
Although there are no guarantees, there are some precautionary measures tank owners can take to be better prepared for a hurricane or tropical storm.
