I don't know when "gender reveal" parties for a baby became a thing. But let's appropriate that new tradition for our own benefit. Back in 2005, we bought the home we currently live in. It was about that time that I filled three water jugs with tap water, treating each with some bleach (a half cup or a full cup....I can't remember) before storing them in my garage. I put the jugs sit on the concrete floor (and yes, I know that's a controversial practice) where they've sat, summer, winter, spring and fall for twelve years, three presidents and a high school graduation. Until now. Tonight, I opened them up. Behold - The Great Water Stored In Jugs Sitting On Cement In A Texas Garage For 12 Years Reveal! I'd drink that water, with some additional filtering through a Berkey or similar filtration device.
A few thoughts from this:

What I've heard is that "water never goes bad, when kept out of direct sunlight, as long as it was potable when originally stored and no contaminates are introduced into it". What stored water WILL DO is take on the taste of whatever it is stored inside of, such as a plastic, filmy taste if inside of a plastic container or possibly a metallic taste if stored in a metal container. Supposedly, a glass container is the only thing that won't alter the taste of stored water.
