These are BPA free, food grade barrels making them safe for long term drinking water storage?

I purchased 3 of these blue water storage barrels, and plan to order another one. According to the manufacturer they are BPA free. I am using these barrels for emergency water storage (Amazon also sells the water preservative which preserves the water for 5 years). My barrels were delivered without serious dents, cracks or odors. I also purchased a “bung” wrench from Amazon to remove the 2 screw type openers on the lid. The whole lid itself of this barrel is not removable.

Why are two holes drilled on the rim of the barrel? They appear to be drilled directly on the seam, thus weakening its structural integrity. Why?

The top rim of the barrel has weep holes that are designed for draining water of the top of the barrel, they do not weaken the integrity of the barrel.

are these barrels UV resistant containers?

Supposedly. I keep mine inside. If I left it outside, I would definitely cover it.

do mosquitos get in there?

Not if you seal them tight after disinfecting and filling
