Not in my area, it is absolutely not recommended as PVC can leach chemicals. If you have a pvc pipe on your water lines you'd be smart to replace it. CPVC is ok but I'm not convinced that doesn't leach either.
At one time in my area, almost all the water lines coming from the meter were PVC. Now it’s mostly PEX being used, but PVC is still very common. Most people here would not be able to afford replacing the main line from the road. Copper is best IMHO.
I like pex myself... Just because it can freeze and not burst. 1st hand experience, it held up for a week completely frozen. Copper is excellent though for its antibacterial properties.
