	Is your bottled water coming from a faucet? - TODAY: Food & Wine - MSNBC.com
		Water that has been produced by distillation, deionization, reverse osmosis or other suitable processes and that meets the definition of purified water in the United States Pharmacopoeia (pharmacological code) may be labeled as purified bottled water.
		Mineral water is distinguished from other types of bottled water by its constant level and relative proportions of mineral and trace elements at the point of emergence from the source.
		Spring water collected with the use of an external force (in other words, a pump) must be from the same underground stratum as the spring and must have all the physical properties, before treatment, and be of the same composition and quality as the water that flows naturally to the surface of the earth.

	Potable Water Supply, Osa Water Works, Costa Rica
		While water treatment technologies are employed throughout the world to ensure that municipal water delivery is free of pathogens that cause diseases, the majority of the world still does not enjoy the high standards of municipal water quantity and quality enjoyed by industrialized societies and some developing nations, including Costa Rica.
		While springs typically represent a source of high water quality and often sufficient supply for a residence or a remote commercial lodge, removal of this water deprives the environment of stream flow during the summer months, when there are no rains to engender run off and corresponding stream flow.
		Water quality tests should always be conducted in advance of the final potable water system design to ensure that needed contaminant mitigation systems are in place.

	ATSDR - PHA - Savage Municipal Water Supply, Milford, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire
		Appendix V summarizes the levels of contaminants that were detected in six private residential drinking water supply wells.
		The groundwater in the Savage Municipal Well, the well serving the Milford Mobile Home Park, the Keyes Well, and area private residential wells were found to be unfit for human consumption in 1983 by the NH WSPCC and were subsequently shutdown.
		However, past exposure to contaminated groundwater from municipal and private water supply wells is of concern, as the consumers of these water supplies may have been exposed to a variety of carcinogenic (tetrachloroethylene) and noncarcinogenic (1,2-dichloro- ethylene and 1,1,1-trichloro-ethane) VOCs for a number of years.

	Waterborne Outbreak of Gastroenteritis Associated with a Contaminated Municipal Water Supply, Walkerton, Ontario, ...
		Of the 1,346 reported cases identified, 1,304 were considered to be primary (exposed to Walkerton municipal water), 39 were secondary (exposed to a primary case and not to Walkerton municipal water), and three were unclassified.
		Mapping of the cases in Walkerton by location of residence confirmed the widespread nature of the illnesses and supported the hypothesis that municipal water was the cause of the outbreak.
		This study also found that despite the Boil Water Advisory and extensive publicity, a small portion of the residents in Walkerton continued to expose themselves to the water through various routes, including brushing teeth with the water and occasionally drinking it.

	Privatizing Infrastructure: Options for Municipal Water-Supply Systems (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The problems that plague municipal water-supply systems become especially significant when it is realized that—unlike gas, electric, and telecommunications utilities—the majority of water-supply infrastructure is owned and operated by municipal governments and hence does not face any form of competition to improve performance.
		Underpricing of municipal water services explains the inability of these systems to provide reliable water supplies and to be able to finance the investment needed to meet environmental standards.
		In Boston, for example, where ratepayers face water and sewer bills averaging about $545 in 1993 to pay for the estimated $6.1-billion harbor sewage cleanup, the city water supply system's rate of leakage is 27 percent.

	Privatisation Of Municipal Water Supply (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The DJB loses about 30-40 per cent of treated water during distribution and is only able to treat and supply about 60 per cent of the raw water it receives which compares unfavourably with the 80-90 per cent international standard.
		It needs emphasis that DJB has reached its maximum installed capacity for water treatment which means that, even if it receives additional raw water to make up for shortfall, it would not be able to treat it unless substantial additional investment is made in increasing treatment capacity and efficiency.
		In the absence of proper water supply and effective regulation, groundwater is now the source of an estimated four-fifths of domestic water supply in rural areas, and around half that of urban and industrial areas, much of this being supplied by rich landowners.
