Tap water or Bottled water?

Bottled water is often less clean than tap water.  The FDA regulates bottled water, while the EPA, which has stricter standards regulates tap water. The EPA mandates that local water treatment plants provide city residents with a detailed account of tap water’s source and the results of any testing, including contaminant level violations. Bottled water companies are under no such directives. Local water treatment plants are required to test for harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites several times a day, while bottled water companies are required to test for these only once a week.
According to bottled water tests 1 in 5 brands tested positive for synthetic chemicals from the manufacturing of the plastic.  In addition, bottled water companies are not required to test for a parasite that is chlorine-resistant and causes violent diarrhea, and possible death due to dehydration.  See this article for more details about bottled water.....http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Health/story?id=728070&page=1
