Yeah the plastic waste is definitely rough. Not to mention having to go buy them in bulk. It's not just costly over time, but inconvenient having to carry it all in the house. I hope the high levels aren't linked to health issues, I don't know much about how bad the contamination is for us, just that my parents didn't wanna risk it. Thanks for link I'll let my family know when I get back for the holidays.

Carbon filtration removes most of it and isnt a bad idea anyways tbh. Will also pull out chlorine as well as things like TTHMs (a family of chemicals from when chlorine reacts with organics). You can get an under sink carbon filter + reverse osmosis and you're good. Good peace of mind. Better tasting water. Much less waste.

Even a carbon filter water pitcher is good.

Adding on to this, look for NSF 53 certified water filters and check the contaminant reduction claims
