    I just discovered some leaking so I no longer have that. It really drives home the point that these need regular, if rare, attention. Also that plastic not only seeps into the water with time, but the jugs eventually degrade enough to leak

      What happened to your supply to cause leakage?

      Sure, plastic isn’t perfect, but it is cheap and easy to get. I have plastic gallons for my house and car. I’m willing to consume a bit of extra plastic in a disaster situation 🙃

        No idea. A couple gallon jugs of water just started leaking. As far as I know, nothing happened to them, nothing was touching them. They were still upright and sealed

        Maybe something related to sitting on a concrete floor or seasonal swings in temperature (and no, it hasn’t gotten to freezing here yet, nor has my basement ever frozen).
