It really depends on the levels, they are called forever chemicals because they last forever. In many cities you can detect cocaine in drinking water...
But then it doesn't depend on the level actually. If something toxic has a half life of a billion years then it shouldn't be used in production, no matter in what amount/at what levels. Cocaine will degrade at some point and also not stay in your system forever so I would argue that there can be a safe level of cocaine in drinking water. (I mean it still shouldn't be there, but it doesn't cause trouble on the grander scheme of things.)
How's cocaine got in your comment?
(using secretive slightly agitated conspiracy voice) That's how they getcha man.... Cocaine in the water man... it's in there on purpose.... they get you hooked on the coke and to get it you keep drinking the water to get mooooore! EVERYONE THAT EVER DRANK WATER HAS DIED AT SOME POINT!!!!?? (walks away mumbling about tin foil hats and mind control)
