The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are both responsible for the safety of drinking water. EPA regulates public drinking water (tap water), while FDA regulates bottled drinking water.

Process, bottle, hold and transport bottled water under sanitary conditions;
Protect water sources from bacteria, chemicals and other contaminants;
Use quality control processes to ensure the bacteriological and chemical safety of the water;
Sample and test both source water and the final product for contaminants.

When FDA inspects plants, the Agency verifies that the plant's product water and operational water supply are obtained from an approved source; inspects washing and sanitizing procedures; inspects bottling operations; and determines whether the companies analyze their source water and product water for contaminants.
