I do not monitor the bottling practices of the American bottled water industry but I found this 'spot check' interesting:

Product: Ozarka (R) 0.5 L (lot: HA0124062115L1)
Company: Ozarka Spring Water Company (a division of a huge conglomerate)
Company Address: Greenwch, Conneticut
Water Source: Piney Woods Springs, Wood County, Texas

Jessica said...: Hmm, that is interesting...

So Ozarka Natural Spring Water doesn't have to be water from an ACTUAL spring, just water from a place with the word "spring" in the name?? Shady...

I recommend investing in a Brita, especially if we buying water from our own backyards... :); Mon Mar 27, 10:16:00 PM 2006

Name: OS Hopper

My name is Oscar S Hopper. I think that every individual should clearly define what they believe on important issues; especially when the issue is ‘controversial’ or a ‘hot-topic’. These beliefs should be logical and based on the best information available so that one does not lie to one’s self and does remain Intellectually Honest. Furthermore, maintaining one definition for personal use and another for professional/occupational use demotes the importance of the issue from paramount to a mere preference (nothing wrong with preferences per se) and creates a type of inconsistency that will herein be labeled: Intellectual Dishonesty.
