Where has the Potable Water gone in the NF Campgrounds

Has anyone else noticed that many NF campgrounds that DID have Potable Water in the campground no longer provide water? I have been planning our August-September trip to Southern Wyoming and Colorado...

Actually, there is s simple solution to this: 1 tsp of household bleach per 10 USG of water. More if the water is cloudy or really dubious. Let stand at least 30 minutes. Will make better coffee if you run it through a filter before drinking. (Tiger and many other RV's include a water filter as standard equipment.)

This is basically what your city does.

Over at the EXPO Portal you will find huge discussions of this, comparing reverse osmosis units, multi-stage filters, etc. All of these work, but bleach is simple, cheap, and available almost anywhere in the world. One bottle will last months.

There are also tablets which are pricier, but perhaps easier to carry.
