Yes you can use a self tapping saddle valve on plastic but do not over tighten it or it will leak if possible it would be better to drill a hole in the pipe and use a saddle connector then put a regular valve in the connection

Check with village for a proper installation to meet code. Plastic and saddle valves won't meet code I most places. Do it right the first time and bite the bullet.
