I If there’s no rain. We have within 1-3 blocks a small park with a spring fed large pond plus a second one down the road in the opposite direction,  can walk to park and pond with as many containers as I can fit in the two garden wagons. The spring that feeds it is about a 1/2 mile down further from us. Would have to use car (if still running) or use bicycle with wagons attached behind. I have a couple of friends who back up to the park and I would be able to access the pond from their back yards. From October to August our sump runs almost continuously,  would divert to buckets, filter, boil and chlorinate as I would the pond/stream water. August thru October would have to make a run on the pond near us.  Unfortunately there is no real good stealthy way to collect water here as I am in a subdivision. I believe most of the neighbors will be doing the same and to some extent there maybe safety in numbers.Unless some scumbag and gang decide to shut down the park, we maybe okay till winter. That’s predisposing we get snow, then we would gather snow, melt/boil, filter, etc. in addition to trying to get water from the ponds.
