I think it's absurd. I expect my water delivery company not to add polutants in transit. I expect my water production company to provide clean water.
er.. bad analogy warning... please take a sample of tap water to an independent lab for analysis... and find out just what the water company is putting into your water.
Actually that _is_ a bad analogy.
According to my sister (who works in that area as a regional water expert), tap-water is held to higher standards than bottled water. In Canada at least... ymmv.

perhaps you mis-read. water companies -always- add things to water, to kill off germs, balance mineral content, etc.. they do this to -meet- the "higher" standards. and by their tampering, they pollute the water... their pollution may make the water drinkable and safe. does n ot change the fact that the water was tampered with. --bill
