I know the person who takes water samples in my area (and one of her sampling stations was her own tap, in my neighborhood) so I know our tap water is good. In Canada there are no regulations on bottled water, (last I heard ). So there are no standards really, so how do we judge the quality of it?

I am not sold on bottled water but do buy it sometimes. And is there a shelf life ? those emails that go around about not leaving bottled water in hot cars, it breaks down the plastic, don't put a bottle in the freezer...etc. I also wonder how the water coolers are disinfected. So I am a bit confused on bottled water.

The US EPA might have good information on bottled water standards.
