    yeah...don't! just fill your fresh water tank at home...assuming it's on a different water system than the lake. we never leave home with a full fresh water tank for that very reason.

    one time as we were checking into a park in New Mexico we learned that the state dept. of health had declared the park's fresh water system as "unfit for human consumption" due to e-coli. we had enough water...barely...for overnight but ever since that we've always carried a full tank of fresh water.

    Which lake you going to, T-Bird?
    Since they've had lots of rain down south, maybe they're talking about boiling if using the hydrants.
