瓶装水是为了社区关系和营销目的，在美国水厂的各个子公司。味道和气味问题与水的余氯、装瓶厂的处理工艺实践以及瓶盖材料有关。发现的最重要问题是食品防腐剂和调味品的存在。为确保瓶装水质量是美国饮用水质量和服务的积极反映，提出以下建议。美国公用事业子公司必须使用州政府机构批准的装瓶设施，不得手动装瓶。子公司必须验证其瓶装水是否符合其所在州的瓶装水法规，包括装瓶、检测、水运输、记录保存和报告实践。必须进行初始和定期细菌学测试，以验证瓶装水的质量。 装瓶设施必须提供表明当前认证的记录。这些设施必须充分披露用于消毒、冲洗和灌装瓶子的程序、瓶装水将经历的处理过程，以及与每批瓶装水相关的质量控制测试结果。装瓶设施必须确保其他瓶装产品（水或其他饮料）的污染不会带入美国瓶装水。瓶装水将接受尽可能少的处理，以保持美国产品的完整性。瓶子将由特性粘度大于0.8且乙醛水平小于1.0的未经处理的聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯树脂制成。不得使用高密度聚乙烯或聚氯乙烯材料。瓶盖应由未经处理的聚丙烯塑料制成。包括10个参考文献、表格和图表。

Water is bottled for community relations and marketing purposes at various American Water Works subsidiary companies. Taste and odor issues occur that relate to the chlorine residual of the water, the treatment process practices of the bottler and the bottle and cap materials. The most significant problem discovered was the presence of food preservatives and flavoring. To ensure that bottled water quality is a positive reflection of America's potable water quality and service, provided the following recommendations are made. The American utility subsidiary must use bottling facilities approved by the governing state agency and not fill the bottles by manual means. Subsidiaries must verify that their bottled water complies with their state's bottled water regulations for bottling, testing, water transport, record keeping and reporting practices. Initial and periodic bacteriological testing must be conducted to verify bottled water quality. The bottling facilities must supply records indicating current certification. These facilities must fully disclose the procedures used to sanitize, rinse and fill the bottles, the treatment processes the bottled water will undergo, and the quality control testing results associated with each batch of water bottled. Bottling facilities must ensure that contamination from other bottled products (water or other beverages) does not carryover into American bottled water. The bottled water will undergo as minimal treatment as possible to maintain the integrity of America's product. Bottles will be made from virgin polyethylene terephthalate resin with an intrinsic viscosity of> 0.8 and an acetaldehyde level of < 1.0. High-density polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride materials must not be used. Caps should be made from virgin polypropylene plastics. Includes 10 references, tables, figures.
