  Depends on the water though since some may have chemical contamination that won’t go away by just boiling (I believe UNICEF has a section on their website about it).

  It’s why you are never ever supposed to drink storm water in any form (other than potentially rain collection)

  Why would you need to freeze it though?

    Freezing it traps the boil for longer than storing it at room temperature.

  But if they’re worried about contamination, they wouldn’t be storing boiling hot water in plastic bags. Microplastics ☠️

    Bacterial and viral contamination. They can’t do anything about potential chemical pollutants but they probably still wouldn’t want to potentially shit themselves to death.
