How Safe is the Water We Drink From The Tap vs. Bottled Water?
An interesting article from www.emagazine.com suggests that bottled water is not necessarily better for you or the environment.
MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE: - Despite the Hype, Bottled Water is Neither CLEANER nor GREENER Than Tap Water
The message is clear: Bottled water is "good" water, as opposed to that nasty, unsafe stuff that comes out of the tap. But in most cases tap water adheres to stricter purity standards than bottled water, whose source—far from a mountain spring—can be wells underneath industrial facilities. Indeed, 40 percent of bottled water began life as, well, tap water.

Maybe that was the point, in that bottled water is not in competition with free tap water.
It's not like Tap Water has an International Tap Water Group like the International Bottled Water Group, www.bottledwater.org "A trade association representing the bottled water industry." Nor does the Tap Water Association have a group of lobbyists that they can pay out of the billions of dollars profit like the Bottled Water Lobbyists that are funded from Companies like Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, Perrier Group of America, and others to keep on passing certain Laws that are helpful for the bottled water industry.
If the International Bottled Water Group can get more people to drink bottled water then it will stand to reason that not as many will be drinking tap water. This certainly is a great way to increase market share. I am sure the profits in the Bottled Water Industry have gone up every year.
Don't get me wrong, I am not necessarily against bottled water... But, don't deny the facts of what is going on in the water industry.
