Water Goes Bad

This mod makes the water still stored in sinks, baths, etc after the water shutoff become unsafe to drink after a customisable amount of time. Off-grid water containers, such as water dispensers, stored water containers, and player plumbed sinks are not affected. This aims to make keeping track of water more engaging. In Vanilla, stored-up water leaves a near infinite supply of easy safe water even after the water shutoff, making keeping up with thirst trivial.

Water Drain

This mod also features water draining from the taps over time to add further urgency to securing a water source.

Filters

This also introduces the need to filter plumbed taps. You'll need to additionally craft and install a filter after plumbing a tap, unless the source has safe water (not rain).

Customisability

Sandbox variables allow you to customise how many days after the water shutoff the water becomes tainted (including instantly). The filtering and water drain features can be turned off entirely, and the rate of drain can be changed.
