Aquafina Water Comes From the Tap: Pepsi Promises to Divulge its Public Water Source

Aquafina_rows20of20bottled20waterWhat a bummer!

Are you one of millions, who’ve been duped into thinking that bottled water is vastly superior to tap water?

Well, it turns out now that PepsiCo’s Aquafina comes from a public water source — that’s what’s the PWS on the bottle means. (The company claims it goes through a seven-step purification process.)

Unfortunately, it’s tough not to find Aquafina — in large cities, at least. Yesterday, as I was biking to the tip of Manhattan and was really, really thirsty because I’d run out of water, I had no choice: It was Aquafina or being parched.

Kudos to Corporate Accountability International for its Think Outside the Bottle campaign.

  1. Did you think Aquafina came from a spring or something? Pretty much everyone I’ve talked to about this understood that Aquafina came from a municipal source and is purified!

  2. I don’t really see what all the fuss is about- sure the water originates from a public water source- but like you said, it is further purified- sounds pretty clean to me, and definitely cleaner than the water that runs out of my tap. I’ll still continue to pick a bottle up when I’m on the go.
