Milk jugs have a HDPE rating and are not suitable for long-term water storage.
Plastic containers with a PET or PETE rating are suitable as long as you don't repeatedly wash, rinse, drain, and refill.
Also watch for any containers that have been filled with a aspartame (artificial sweetener) drink. This chemical can leech into the plastic and turn into formaldehyde if the water hits 90 degrees or higher.
