Most bleaches contain oxygen; drinking water contains oxygen and hydrogen.
However, the element probably meant is chlorine, which is in the most common kind of household bleach (so is oxygen) and in polyvinylchloride, the material that makes PVC pipes. It's not really "used in" drinking water, though small quantities of chlorine compounds may be added to drinking water to "purify" it (really to sterilize it; chlorine is pretty toxic to microorganisms).
