How is Alpine Bottled Water regulated? On the federal level, Alpine Bottled Water complies with Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the same protection as afforded to other food products. The Act also requires that our bottled water meets the Environmental Protection Agency's maximum contaminant levels for drinking water as they are adopted by the FDA. In addition, Alpine Bottled Water meets FDA Quality Standards for Bottled Water and is manufactured under FDA's Good Manufacturing Practices. The Colorado State Department of Health also inspects Alpine Bottled Water's production facility and analyzes our water quality. In addition to federal and state requirement for bottle water, the consumer is also protected by Alpine Bottle Water's own advanced program of self-regulation which is more stringent than any other requirements. Our quality control tests are conducted throughout the bottling process to ensure consistently high quality water with no chlorine, carbonation, or flavors ever added. When compared to the level of regulation and scrutiny applied to tap water, soft drinks and other beverages, and home water treatment devices, consumers of Alpine Bottle Water come out way ahead!
