It is completely safe to dispense drinking water from 5 gallon bottles, provided that you use bottles that have been manufactured without the use of the chemical BPA, such as the Bluewave bottle.
Thankfully, BPA has been largely phased out of the manufacturing process of 5 gallon jugs because of health concerns that have arisen over the last decade or so regarding the chemical.
Some studies had shown a relationship between BPA and certain reproductive abnormalities in animals. The danger arises because BPA can leach into the drinking water from the plastic in the bottle.
Many people choose to use glass 5 gallon bottles instead of the bicarbonate plastic because they are still concerned about the potential for chemicals in the plastic getting in the drinking water.
But in my opinion, you should feel safe knowing that your drinking water is clean and uncontaminated when it is bottled in modern 5 gallon jugs.
