My coworker has been filling the office drinking fountain with lead-filled water

My coworker has been filling the office drinking fountain with lead-filled water
ShareShareShareShareShare

DEAR ABBY: The floor I work on has a cluster of offices surrounding a central kitchen area. Fifteen of us share the appliances, including a hot water reservoir with a tap. The building is old and has lead pipes, so a service brings in large plastic bottles for a water cooler. Usually, whoever arrives first in the morning fills the tank on the water heater from the cooler, and we all use it to make hot drinks during the day. 

I just found out that a new employee has been filling the tank from the contaminated tap! When I asked her about it, she said that the microplastics in the water jugs were more dangerous than the lead in the pipes. She’s very committed to this idea and is not going to budge. I don’t think this is right. I will heat my own water from now on, but how should I warn the others in the office? The source of our tea water seems like a silly thing to start an office tiff over, but I also think people need to know their water is unsafe. — NOT DRINKING IN NEW YORK

DEAR NOT DRINKING: I agree the employees in your office should know about this. At least they will be on notice about which “poison” they are consuming. Report this to HR or your employer, so the announcement can come from on high and you can stay out of the line of fire.
