Have to agree with JK that there were cheaper choices anyway especially if you still had electricity. Mistakes happen. Honestly everyone should be prepared for 2-3 days with no water or no electricity - spend $10 and stock up on gallon water jugs or wash out old milk jugs, fill with tap water and store for almost free. (I live in a house where I have no water when the power is out due to the lack of electricity to the well so I have to be prepared).
