Drain before it freezes - that's it - it's water it will not go BAD.

JMHO,

Water goes BAD

I have lived on two coldesacs and the water would start smelling when snowbirds left for the season due to low flow. Chlorine dissipates over time.

"Clean" water has microbes in it at low levels tolerable to us with no ill effect. Once Chlorine dissipates microbes can multiply.

The quicker you use it or drain it the better, but I do not know the shelf life of clean water and your plumbing system. It is a good question.

We use a pur filter to reduce Cryptosporidium levels or drink bottled water

OK - the water is still WATER - I use it to wash with and in the 50 years of doing this rv thing the only water that went bad was... None it was still water - but in respect to my wife we drink bottled water and and I put something that kill Microbes in with the Ice :S a Canadian Mix :B

I keep hoping that it might change to something more valuable - but every winter when I drain the Grass still loves it and well.... that is the end on "How long do YOU store City water"

On the couple years we wintered in the RV it actually lasted a lot longer.

You need to not confuse the septic smell with fresh water unless you are from a very mineral rich water system (South West) the water tends to be odorless.
