My builder is putting PEX pipes for drinking water etc. I thought copper pipes are safer. Is there a safety issue with PEX pipes or plastic for water drinking.

never heard of pex, but if you are concerned, go to a plumbing supplier and ask as if you were renovating a bathroom on your own what are the advantages and disadvantages of this pex over copper. also, your builder would have to pass a building permit by a city inspector so you can always call the city and ask about it

PEX piping is better than copper because there is no lead used in the connections.
