There is no substitute for access to a fresh water source.
If you are on municipal, you should also be storing water to be able to sustain through short-term water/electrical outages that stop the pumps. Plan on having 1 gallon per person per day: most folks need 2 quarts to drink, and the other 2 quarts will go towards very efficient cooking, bathing, cleaning. Don't forget animals and any vital plants.
Storage
It's heavy -- about 8.5 lbs per gallon -- and inconvenient to store. It won't "go bad," but you will need to store chlorinated or treated water to keep nasties from growing.
Purification
Beyond what you can store, you can also hope to collect water, possibly tainted, and purify it.
See Water Purification.
Filtration
