Drinking Water Barrels

i wouldnt think they are fresh any more lol

You seem to find these "Drinking water barrels" in a lot of abandoned buildings. I've seen shots of large quantities of these before...

water....so weird...

How does one get in touch with you?? And is it possible that you remember a patient from CI named Lorel Downey????

The drinking water is kind of a cold war relic, many of the buildings at pigrim house fallout shelters,the top line on top of the drum is the level at which water is to be filled, the bottom is for level at which feces is to be stored when the water is empty.

Sorry, but Steve, although that's true it's incerdibly disgusting. But it definitely is a relic of the war, and americas history.
They never taught me any of this in AP History..

You would be surprised. There are hospitals that are accredited with JACHO(sic?)
have to have in storage, a certain number of gallons of potable water(suitable for drinking), non potable water(not suitable for drinking), gasoline for generators, as well as food rations, blankets and linens, in the event of a disaster.
Granted, the barrels in this picture are likely past the expiration date, but storing water and basic necessities is not just a Cold War relic, or a war relic in general. It is still in common practice.
You just don't hear about it.
Infact, the last time we heard anyone really stress the importance of storage, was during Y2K, when everyone scrambled for the world to fall apart on New Years.

Those barrels came from that movie zombie movie. They took the dead zombie bodies and put them into those barrels....One fell off the truck and went into some suffolk county rain overflow basin.
The rest is history

great shot with great colors!!!

A watcher is up in the right hand corner.

Listen guyz take from a guy who lives 5 minutes away from pilgrim state tha rumor around brentwood iz that there are tunnels from pilgrim all tha way 2 kings park which i think iz complete bull but styll im gonna investigate u kno cuz i wanna learn

Yo yo yo you L. BiGGz, what up homey. Buy a friggin dictionary dog (excuse me dawg) because you are (excuse me be) a stupid retarded BIG TIME OLD SCHOOL (excuse me SKOOL)

no such tunnels to KPPC exist, nor do any leading to the long-gone Edgewood complex.

Woah, I didn't notice the face in the corner until C pointed it out......

On the middle barrel, notice the half-obscured circular logo, with a 'D'. That is half of the Civil Defence (CD) logo. This organization issued air raid supplies to public shelters. FYI

The face in the upper right may just be a reflection. I've done my fair share of exploring the Pilgrim State buildings, givent hat I live ive minutes away, and there's mirrors all over the place. I did some photographing of the old industrial building this weekend. Only the outside though. My photography teacher didn't want us to be illegal lol.

people i talk to say it is haunted

There's a dragon peeking at you from the corner there...and nice burn, "Notorious B.I.G"

Wouldn't want to be drinking water from there now! :P

I'm not drinking that water YUCK!

Was there water in any of them?
