Our Mission: Promoting the Facts About Bottled Water

Welcome to Bottled Water Facts, your source for accurate, accessible, and actionable information about bottled water.

As a vital provider of safe, convenient, good tasting, affordable, and healthy hydration, the bottled water industry serves millions nationally while supporting nutrition access, public health, and environmental sustainability. We are proud to contribute to the well-being of our customers, the communities where we work, and the planet we all share.

Bottled water plays an important  role for countless individuals, from families seeking reliable and healthy hydration to communities in need during natural disasters. Consumers, policymakers, and stakeholders place their trust in our industry to deliver a product that meets a multitude of needs while advancing sustainability. They deserve media coverage that accurately reflects the challenges our industry faces along with the progress we’ve made in meeting those challenges.

Regrettably, some recent media coverage has fallen short, not just of our expectations or the expectations of our stakeholders but of basic journalistic standards like balance, accuracy, and objectivity. Whether influenced by ideological activists who provide readymade content to several media outlets or driven by the need to boost engagement at whatever cost in our attention economy, some in the press have helped spread myths and confuse readers about our products. 

But we believe that in the end the truth will prevail. That’s why this site aims to be a platform for clear, fact-based conversations about bottled water’s benefits and a place where experts can respond to inaccuracies in media coverage. Our mission is to promote journalistic accountability, ensuring all stakeholders receive accurate and reliable information.

We look for unbiased news coverage that presents the facts and we’re eager to hear and engage with legitimate criticism and feedback. Diverse viewpoints in commentary and opinion pieces are expected, however, we will respond to coverage of our industry, its people, and its products that falls short of basic journalism standards.

Bottled Water Facts will be a place to share knowledge and exchange views, and where consumers, policymakers, and the media can get accurate and reliable information about bottled water.
