"...many bottles of water come from city tap water"

Some water problems and pollutants may be in your tap water even if the water treatment plant has met all of the Safe Drinking Water Act standards.

An estimated 53 million Americans rely on water from private wells. While most of this water is safe to drink, groundwater contamination has been documented in all 50 states.

The State of Drinking Water Today

All water contains some impurities, but according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States has one of the safest water supplies in the world. However, drinking water quality varies across the country, depending on the condition of the source water from which it is drawn and the treatment it receives.

Many of us who once gave little or no thought to the water that comes from our taps are now asking the question: "Is my water safe to drink?"

Even though most tap water is provided by EPA regulated municipal water supplies, those bureaucratic agencies are subject to error: 82,655 violations of EPA standards by municipal water systems for unsafe drinking water in 2001 alone. Every single state in America had unsafe drinking water violations in 2001, affecting some 77,845,089 Americans. (Source: EPA Drinking Water and Ground Water Statistics for 2001).
