Put some buckets outside for rainwater and use for toilets.

If needed, I plan to use the USP port in my car. Obviously it has a powerful battery.

I sort of doubt the wind will treat buckets well Chuck!

There may be sediment but there is not sludge. If there was sludge you would be quite sick by now. If you drain your heater every year as you should you won't have any measurable sediment. I drained mine after three-year and no sediment. Take away=drain your tank now and have fifty (electric) or forty (gas) gallons if you need it.

We'll pass on that. We currently have a 6 or 7' gator in the retention pond behind us.

My concern is that there will be plenty of water to flush the toilet........... surrounding the toilet. Once those retention ponds fill, there is no where for the water to go except the streets and your lot, and it won't be gone in a day or two.

Just so we’re all on the same sheet of music. If the water is turned off you will not get hot water, from your heater, via the kitchen faucet. The hot water needs incoming water to push out the heated water. What you can do is drain, via hose and bucket, your hot water heater. Should be 40-50 gals of good water. If you find sediment, use coffee filters.

If there is a plumber on the forum, please correct me if I’m not explaining it correctly.
