It is honestly one of the most simple and inexpensive things you can keep on hand. When the weather is nice and the store is stocked, grab a few gallons and throw them in a closet or garage. Whether you need it for drinking and cooking or to help keep your refrigerator cool (a couple frozen gallons in the fridge makes a big difference), you won t have to worry about the mad rush at the grocery store.
Alternative Lighting
Candles, flashlights, any kind of illumination that doesn t require electricity is great. A lot of new flashlights come with USB rechargeable batteries, but for the one s that don t, store the batteries with them in a closet. These are also just handy to have around in the case of a normal power outage or searching for your cat, who decided to get into the crawl space in the bathroom somehow and you cannot see her when it s midnight and she s crying.but we digress.
Water crisis continues in Reform following a winter freeze
Water problems in Reform By Kelvin Reynolds | February 23, 2021 at 7:38 PM CST - Updated February 23 at 7:38 PM
REFORM, Ala. (WBRC) - The city of Reform in Pickens County is distributing donated water to residents.
WBRC found several people seeking help at Reformâs Municipal Building. Thatâs where people are able to fill up jugs and containers with non-drinkable water to flush toilets and wash. Folks are also able to get bottled water there as well.
New leaks formed in the townâs water system during a freeze last Monday, according to mayor Melody Davis. Since then, water pressure is low in some parts of town. But some people living in high elevated places like near Reform Elementary School donât have any water at all.
