Our rain barrel has a lid, and screen in the center to let it breath. No insects can get in. We can unscrew the lid and take a look, but it is just water with some debris from the gutter and dirt that settled on the roof on windy days. I imagine if boiled it would be safe for humans to drink. One of our dogs seems to love drinking some it the dripping from the hose my wife uses to fill up a pitcher she waters the flowers with.
The entire barrel is made from an old food safe barrel. Just a few holes poked and a catch trap on the guttering that catches some water.
