" Spring water is derived from an underground formation from which water flows naturally to the surface of the earth. This water must be collected only at the spring or through a borehole tapping the underground formation feeding the spring. 

Other spring water collected with the use of an external force must be from the same underground stratum as the spring and must have all the physical properties before treatment, and be of the same composition and quality as the water that flows naturally to the surface of the earth. "

Natural spring water goes through minimal filtration only to remove impurities. Some spring water may be disinfected as well. The purified water is then sold in glass or plastic bottles on the market, while tap water goes through a series of filtration processes before it becomes fit for drinking. "

 

How is bottled water different from tap water? 

" Bottled water is produced and distributed as a packaged food product and made specifically for drinking. As a packaged food product, bottled water must adhere to FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) required of all FDA-regulated food products as well as specific GMPs unique to bottled water production and packaging. "

 

How do I know my water is safe? 

" Bottled water is strictly regulated at the federal level by FDA and at the state level by state agencies. By law, FDA standards for bottled water must be at least as stringent and protective of public health as standards set by EPA for public water systems. This helps ensure that bottled water sold in the United States meets stringent standards for safety, quality and labeling. "
