Water bottlers are permitted to sell contaminated water if, and only if, their labeling notes the water contains "excessive bacteria" or "excessive chemical substances". Water bottlers are not required to test for the presence of E. coli, cryptosporidium, giardia, asbestos, or certain organic compounds such as benzenes.

In the United States, tap water is regulated by the stringent United States Environmental Protection Agency. Bottled water is regulated under a similar, but significantly less strict set of regulations from the United States Food and Drug Administration under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FFDCA" or the "Act"), 21 U.S.C. § 301et seq. [3]

1) Don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia...I certainly don't!
2) I will still drink it. I've never heard of anyone getting sick from bottled water...but I will certainly be watching for it now!
3) The convenience of getting a bottle of water is hard to pass up! If I am at a park or school event for instance.
4) I worry more about all the plastic going into landfills...If you want to be horrified...google that!

Here is a solution for both the bacteria problem you're concerned about and the landfill problem I am worried about.

I bring our bottles home and refill them with tap water. Refrigerate them. They are easy to grab and go. Won't spill in the car like a glass of tap water, and you will know what's in them! I refill them several times.

Thanks for the interesting question...it really makes people look at bottled water!!
