The Water Quality and Health Council, an independent, multidisciplinary group
sponsored by the Chlorine
Chemistry Council®, states that The U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) regulates bottled water using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) tap water standards as a template.
In addition to the FDA oversight, The International Bottled Water Association
(IBWA) insists that its members routinely employ measures to ensure bottled
water safety. They have established a standard for their members which require
members to undergo an annual, unannounced plant inspection.
