Answer 1

I had a bad tasting batch of Costco bottled water and was told its part of the filtering process – Every bottled water has that particular plastic taste but usually they let the bottled waters sit for some time and the taste goes away but with the pandemic for some time they were shipping as soon as they bottled it.
so no, its not plastic you are tasting but something during the filtering/mineral adding process.
