A potable water storage system includes a plurality of water storage containers that are connected to a water inlet. Water flows through the water storage container and then to a water outlet that provides water to the equipment and fixtures of the building. Routine consumption of water by systems and occupants in the building continually refreshes the water in the storage containers, without requiring additional energy input or effort in routine operation. The system also includes a bypass pipe that connects the water inlet to the water outlet and bypasses the plurality of water storage containers. Valves are also coupled to the water storage system. In the event of an emergency where potable water is not available, the valves can be closed to isolate the potable water in the water storage containers. The water storage containers can provide emergency potable water to the people in the building. The water storage system can be expanded or reconfigured as needed. |
