ABSTRACT:
An emergency fresh water reservoir is provided for a building for use in emergencies, such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and other natural disasters in which municipal water supplies are cut off or rendered impure or unpotable. The emergency water reservoir of the invention also can be used to provide a supply of water in times of man made disasters, such as war or acts of terrorism or vandalism which can render municipal water supplies suspect or unusable. The emergency water reservoir is connected between a municipal water supply line and a hot water heater for a building. Water passes through the emergency water reservoir before reaching the hot water heater. Circulation of fresh water is assured and stagnancy of water is prevented during normal operation of a municipal water supply due to flow through the emergency water reservoir to replenish water in the hot water heater, as hot water is utilized in the building. In times of emergency water can be drawn directly from the emergency water supply.
