well ive had stuff stored in barrels before for 6 months plus and been fine, as long as where your storing it is not in the sunlight it will be fine.

if the water is below 20c it wont thrive, so basically keep it in a dark cool room!!
If the water is flowing ie your taking some water out each day say thru a pump this will stop it thriving as well.
Thats why its never a good idea to have a "dead leg" of piping in your water system as the stagnant water becomes a breeding ground
