I decided to buy a 15 gallon plastic barrel for emergency water. The flat sided containers fit into places better but the barrels have less surface area in contact with the water and even BPA-free plastic tends to have the same type of harmful chemicals as regular plastic. Also, the 15 gallon ones are industry standard shipping barrels and meet some extra standards compared to containers like the Aqua-Tainer (which has leakage and quality issues according to reviews).
Anyway, I want to save on shipping. Anyone know where I could get a 15 gallon plastic barrel in New York City?
