Yes, that may be so. But is the solution to that (in the US and elsewhere) to increase the consumption of bottled water? According to the article in your link, the potable water supply may contain carinogens, but...
"Bottled water has recently been linked to cancer because of its plastic container. In the latest issue of Cancer Research, the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, a report showed the link between a bisphenol A, a chemical that seeps into food from manufactured products, and breast cancer. The chemical, which is found in water bottles, causes healthy human breast cells to show genealogical characteristics of cancerous cells." (
