It is sold as such by food producing companies, or food product companies, such as Coke, Pepsi, and a host of others.  As it is a food product it is regulated by the Food and Drug Adminastration, or the FDA.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://hubpages.com/hub/Drinking-Filtered-Water-Vs-Drinking-Bottled-Water">Tap water is managed by the Environmental Protection Agency, or the EPA.  The EPA has stringent standards when it comes to the toxicity of the drinking water of municipalities (cities, towns, etc) and has dozens of employees in each location dedicated to just that job.  The FDA, by comparison does not have very many employees devoted to just monitoring bottled water.  EPA approved water, on average, has less toxins per parts per million than some bottled waters.  </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://hubpages.com/hub/Drinking-Filtered-Water-Vs-Drinking-Bottled-Water"><P>Most of this is relatively common knowledge, but there's an answer.
