The only tme I pulled PVC apart was pulling 2" pipe. At 480 feet it broke just behind the puller.

I know about PVC pipe for water lines but I am completely ignorant on roll
poly.
I have a camp I bought and I am renovating it. I think the water line that runs from the well to other end of the cabin is what you guys call roll poly.
It is black thin wall tubing either 1 inch or 1 1/2 inch in diameter.
It actually ran to an old trailer and is not in use at this time.
I have been trying to decide whether I should use it to supply water to my
cabin or replace it with PVC.
From the well to the start of the cabin is 40 feet . THen it runs underneath the cabin another 40 feet. So about 80 feet in total. The portion underneath the cabin is in a shallow trench not even covered with dirt but I could easily throw some dirt on it. The portion from the well to the cabin appears to be buired well and because of pine trees and other obstacles I would have to dig by hand and make some bends in the water line before I could reach the start of the cabin.
So here are my questions
1. Is this probably roll poly ? Is water supplied through roll poly - potable water ?
2. My camp is in lower southwest Mississippi so we do get some freezing in winter but basically pretty mild winters. Would covering it with 4 or 5 inches of soil be enough to keep it from breaking during the winter ?
Really appreciate any and all comments or suggestions. It certainly would be alot easier on me to hook back into the existing tubing and cover it with dirt.
However , I do want to do it right and do not want to supply non potable water to the cabin or have a problem every winter with this stuff breaking.
Thanks for your help
