If I have water in a jug, how long would it take to go bad (stagnent) in a 65 degree environment?
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Well...I have few comments.
Most muncipal water is chlorinated, so if you used a clean jug (like one that was rinsed clean with a few drop of household bleach) and put the water directly from the tap in the jug and cap it, I assume it would be good for days to weeks. Capping it would preserve the chlorine in solution.
fyi: 65 F is well below the optimal temp for most organisms that cause disease.
Now if your finger or lips touched the top of the jug, or used a jug you previously drank out of then you have likely inculated the jug with several million microbes. I say in a few days you will get some growth, likely due to a 'slime bacteria' or fungi something similar. It is unlikely that it organisms that will actually cause disease will be around, as most disease causing microbes are out competed by normal environmental bacteria, fungi, and strepomycetes.
now take a unopened poland springs bottle, put in on warm windowsill in sun, come back in a week. You will be suprised what little 'freinds' are floating in the water. Are they harmful, unlikely.
Google: 'environmental microbiology wiki' and you will see what I mean.
Stuff like Aquafina that is muncipal water that undergoes further purfication (reverse osmosis) I would not hestiate to leave in a hot trunk of car in the summer for a few weeks.
Bottom line, small organism (microbes) are everywhere, but 99.9% don't really cause disease. The ones we mostly study in medicine are the ones that cause human disease in otherwise healthy individuals. Most 'microbes' actually help us! They are essential to most natural ecosystems.
I hope that helps.

I am assuming it's 65 degrees Fahrenheit. 
Anyway - I personally don't leave water in jugs (plastic) for longer than 5-6 hours because than the water starts to taste a bit stale/off and looses its fresh taste.
I have no idea where you are from, but just to be safe, I would just spill out the water in your jug and drink new tap water.. not a big deal.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
