I agree - don't buy bottled water, unless you're in the wilds of Ethiopia or similar. A few years ago I was in a taxi in France which went past a water-bottling plant (this one: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qu%C3%A9zac_%28eau_min%C3%A9rale%29). The taxi driver told me that the water comes out of the ground naturally carbonated, but for health and safety reasons they have to take all the bubbles out, clean the water, then put all the bubbles back in again. I now have a picture in my mind of billions of bubbles, each in their own tiny little pigeonhole waiting to put back in the water, with tweezers. Similarly, when I asked at a nearby brewery where they get their water from, they told me "the Thames" (meaning the Thames Water Authority - tap water, in other words). But they clean it and then program into it the specific mineral composition of the source they want to imitate when making particular styles of beer. Who'd 'a thought?
