Risk increases if you live in areas that don't get well below freezing in the winter. I believe you live in Canada, so it would not be concerning. However, in the lower half of the US, I would highly recommend using water that's been boiled and allowed to cool or distilled water. I was under the impression that the issue arose from the hot water tank. I tried to find information on whether the two Louisiana cases involved well water vs. treated city water but I didn't find much.
City water here is treated up the wazoo.

I too use the bottle, at least twice a day. It's a savior in both the summer with all the outside allergens and the winter when we are closed up with heat on and it's dry.
