This is from the clorox site faq:

Q: Can Ultra Clorox® Regular Bleach be used to disinfect or purify water?
A: Emergency Disinfection: When boiling water is not practical, water 
can be made potable by using ultra Ultra Clorox® Regular Bleach. Before 
the addition of the sanitizer, remove all suspended material by 
filtration or by allowing it to settle to the bottom. Decant the 
clarified contaminated water to a clean container and add 8 drops of 
Ultra Clorox® Regular Bleach to one gallon of water (2 drops to 1 
quart). Allow the treated water to stand for 30 minutes. Properly 
treated water should have a slight chlorine odor. If not, repeat dosage 
and allow water to stand an additional 15 minutes. The treated water can 
then be made palatable by pouring it between clean containers for 
several times. For cloudy water, use 16 drops of Ultra Clorox® Regular 
Bleach per gallon of water (4 drops to 1 quart). If no chlorine odor is 
apparent after 30 minutes, repeat dosage and wait an additional 15 
minutes. Do not use scented or Advantage® Clorox® bleaches for this purpose.

To disinfect well water, follow standard public health guidelines for 
determining how much bleach to use based on well size to deliver 50 to 
100 ppm available chlorine.

It does not take much to do the job.
