Water in plastic bottles is not necessarily bad, however, recent studies suggest that reusing them over and over can be harmful as they begin to degrade into the water you are drinking. Whenever you buy bottled water be sure to check where it's from. A general rule of thumb is that the water should be bottled north of your location as it will be cleaner than water bottled south of you (as most rivers generally travel north to south).
There is a concern about consuming any product -- food or drink -- that has been stored for any length of time in a plastic container that has BPA or Bisphenol A. There are two camps: one that claims BPA is deadly and the other that says such claims are nonsense. To this end, many bottled products, plastic food storage containers, baby bottles and pacifiers, etc. are not being labeled as containing NO BPAs. Glass does not contain BPA, hence the big push for consumer to invest in glass water bottles coated in silicone. Read for yourself: http://www.factsaboutbpa.org
