I am on a well. Many people in North Raleigh got bad water from wells. If I had kids in the house I would be using a bottled water delivery service for drinking and cooking.
It has been reported that the possible chemicals are un tested and un monitored and the effects have not been studied. I don't know if this another HOH scare or a real problem.
I think it's valid to be concerned about, but I don't think it's "scary". The levels still fall within EPA standards.
There's not a thing on earth that the internet doesn't tell us causes cancer.
I drink water all day every day though. It's directly absorbed into me and my families bodies constantly.
If there are unregulated, unknown chemicals in my drinking water, that the city acknowledges, it seems like a valid concern. And a little more concrete than other obscure health risks.
What are the negatives and safety risks of bottled water?

Don't quote me on this, but I believe the testing standards are actually more strict for tap water than bottled water.
Also those jugs that you get at the supermarket all get reused.

They aren't unknown, they're unregulated. Just means there are no legal standards. The levels are still lower than what the EPA considers to be safe levels.
And most bottled water is basically bottled municipal (tap) water. It's not necessarily any better for you than what you get out of your faucet. The same chemicals may exist in bottled water.

Not sure that bottled water companies would stay in business if they were just bottling the local tap water, since avoiding tap water is the reason they exist.
But I am new to all of this, so I really have no idea
