In order to provide consumers with the facts about the regulation and safety of bottled water and tap water, the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA)'s and BottledWatermatters.com, today released a new, two-and a half minute YouTube video, entitled "How Safe is Bottled Water?," which highlights the key similarities and differences between bottled water and tap water regulations.

"We are hearing misinformation about the regulation and safety of bottled water and we produced this video to set the record straight," said Tom Lauria, IBWA’s Vice President of Communications. "Activists want you to think that bottled water is not as regulated as tap water, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, bottled water is one of the most stringently regulated of all foods and beverages on U.S. shelves."
