Maybe in America. But I know it's the opposite in France for instance (the standard for bottled water is way higher than the standard for tap water. Actually, France has various standards for bottled water - eau minérale, eau d source, etc..., each name corresponds to a different standard -, but they are all much higher than the standards for tap water). Since I was talking only about France and the Netherlands, your argument misses its target. Especially since I was answering Tristan who is Australian ;)))) . Nowhere I mentioned America in that post :))) . Now it's interesting to know that America is different in that respect (strangely different: if tap water is purer than bottled water, then I really don't see the point of ever buying bottled water. In France and the Netherlands at least, you buy bottled water because it *is* purer than tap water).
