Which is too bad, because tap water is better regulated and more healthy than bottled water.
4. How can I determine if bottled water is really just tap water?
Often it's not easy. First, carefully check the bottle label and even the cap -- if it says "from a municipal source" or "from a community water system" this means it's derived from tap water. Again, you can call the bottler, or the bottled water program in your state or the state where it was packaged.

I think it is fair to say that the majority of the bottled water is safer than tap water, according to this site too, but it is possible to know for sure, if you want.
