plastic containers

[Guest guest]

Hi group,

I live in So. Florida where many of my neighbors are winter residents

who are just now returning from their summer homes. I have been

looking after the condo of a neighbor who will arrive back here

tomorrow,, and I went in yesterday to turn on the refrigerator. The

door had been blocked open, so no problem there, but I noticed that my

friend had left a gallon container of drinking water inside the

Fridge. over the summer. The container shows an expiry date of March

2007, but I'm concerned about whether it is safe to use this

water, or not.

I think the problems related to using plastic containers for storage

are related to storing the containers in a freezer, but not sure about

this.

I'm fairly sure, however, that the many knowledgeable members of this

group will have an answer to this.

Thanks in advance for your help.
