Water on thru-paddle

I am planning a source-to-sea paddle in May. Is the river water safe to drink with filtering along the trail? Are there particular sections where it isn't safe? If so, what's the best way to get water? I'm thinking a 5 gallon collapsible jug and filling up in towns.

Hi Chris,
The river flows through an agricultural landscape. I would avoid drinking from the river after heavy rains. Bringing a 5 gallon collapsible jug and filling up in towns is a great approach. Best of luck!
