How long does water stay fresh?

I live in an area with natural springs/wells that people go and fill up huge containers from.

I've only ever filled up bottles to drink that day!

I'm trying to stop buying bottles water - I buy it because the tap water tastes yuck even filtered. I want to start filling up from the spring.

How long would the water in one of those large 25l containers stay fresh for?! I know I sound ignorant here. I've just got a thing about drinking stagnant water from childhood and am a bit nervous!

It would depend on whether or not the container was sterile when it was filled, and how clean the actual water is too.

I wouldn't risk it past 24-36 hours at most.
