It's not the water that leaches, but the chemicals in the plastic leach into the water. It means that the plastic will break down a little and release some of its components into your drinking water, especially if you use it more than once.

What happens to bottles when recycled?

If you mean plastic bottles... it depends on where they're recycled and exactly what they're made of. A variety of factors make many plastics difficult to truly recycle, so instead they are sometimes converted into other products (for example, they might be made into, say, parking blocks) or in some cases they simply wind up in the landfill with all the other trash. Nearly all plastic bottles are made entirely of virgin resin for health and safety reasons, not from recycled material.
