If the source of bottled water or vended water is a public drinking water system (or a municipal source), does the source have to be indicated in the label?
When the source for bottled water comes from a public drinking water system, the product label must state that the bottled water is from “a public drinking water” or “from a municipal source.” However, if the water has been purified to have less than 10 ppm TDS (to meet the legal definition for purified water), it does not have to bear such statement on its label. Water vending machines and retail water facilities must display, in a position clearly visible to customers, the fact that their source water is obtained from an approved public water supply.
