Reply to comment by xeroextremities in This bottled water’s primary marketing is that it goes straight from the sewage treatment plant to your mouth. by Asteroth6

No different from amy bottled water that isn't specifically labeled as "spring water".

I used to work at a Coca-Cola bottling plant and the Dasani came from a faucet in the back.

That faucet isn't connected directly to the municipal water supply, it's hooked to a reservoir of a machine that purifies the municipal water, which is the same place they get water for every other drink too

Boiling water and collecting the steam is distillation. Reverse osmosis uses a semi-permiable membrane to separate the impurities from the water.

I've heard that people don't like Dasani... I never quite understood it myself. Is that why?

Dasani often has a “taste” to it. It’s hard to describe, it’s just different.

Much better than the taste of say, Zephyrhills. That water should be called Choctawhatchee River Refreshment.

I've seen other water brands that say on the label that its municipal water from whatever small town they built the bottling plant in, its not unique to Dasani.

Big companies like Coke have multiple bottling plants so the quality will vary depending on which plant it came from and how good their local water treatment facilities are.

I know in the town I lived in at the time I would regularly get letters from the water company saying they were legally obligated to advise all customers that they had failed their water quality test from the government (again) and here's a list of all the contamination found in their water but they promise its still totally safe to drink, the levels of contamination in the water are just a little bit over the legal limits.
