That said, perhaps it's difficult to get hold of water that you can be sure isn't contaminated? In which case, yes, you'd want to get out of there pretty quick as you can't go long without water. However you can make water safe to drink by adding 2 drops of plain ol' bleach per litre and it's perfectly safe to drink so there are some very simple and inexpensive solutions to stopping the spread of something like cholera.

Yes, they need to import bottled water.
It is Tragic,
that cholera has spread fast.
