Sorry I didn’t get back sooner.  My internet connection died.
I agree that storage of water is the best approach to an emergency prep.  I myself do have some jugs of water stored for that purpose.  I sit high enough that flooding is not a problem however, a power outage shuts down my well.  My original question was asked of me and I couldn’t answer it with certainty.  That is why I came to you folks.  I was not sure if any means of filtering or chemical treatment would work.  I wonder if someone will be working on this issue, now that this has happened, in preparation for a similar disaster that hopefully won't happen.
BTW:  The EPA has done some water sampling and posted the results 
here.
