Safe drinking water is a daily requirement. But, in the case of emergencies, potable water may be compromised. One option is to can water at home.

Only potable water that has been properly disinfected for drinking, cooking, making any prepared drink, washing dishes or for brushing teeth can be used to safely can water at home.

The boiling water canning method will kill vegetative bacterial cells, viruses, and parasites to give a shelf-stable product. The water must be of drinking quality and free of all additives.
