Federal food inspectors regularly check the operations of bottled water companies to ensure compliance with the act. Some provincial and municipal agencies also keep tabs on bottled waters. Manufacturers that are members of bottled water associations must follow additional specific requirements to ensure the quality of their products. The safety of well-water is the responsibility of the owner of the property where the well is located. Ensure your well is properly constructed and located to prevent surface water from entering your water supply directly.
Surface water is water from lakes, rivers, streams, ponds and reservoirs.
