they need to send that to the EPA for their drinking water. They said it's all good and no contamination happened. So let them drink it.

Notice the article didn’t say that the water was contaminated?

Exactly what’s in the air after a chemical spill such as this one is hard to pin down. Without a breakdown of all the chemicals and their byproducts that are present in the air or water, it’s difficult to definitively say what the health risks are. Furthermore, these chemicals may be reacting with the environment. “There are a lot of reactions that can take place with the moisture in the air or in the ground soil,” says Hong. “And so, there’s potential for there to be more exposure, but we don’t have that data because no one is testing for it.”
but fully understanding the severity of the exposure will require more rigorous, longer-term sampling methods that tell scientists the breadth and concentrations of chemicals present at the crash site, in people’s homes, and in the surrounding water periodically, over at least a year or two.
The problem isn't just at Whole Foods. Spring water from Spring Hill Farm Dairy in Haverhill, Massachusetts is sold across New England under a variety of brand names, including CVS’s Ice Canyon Spring Water, Stop & Shop’s Acadia Spring Water, Cumberland Farms Spring Water and Market Basket Spring Water — to name a few. None of these supermarket chains responded to requests for comment.
