Not every one is trying to hide the source of their bottled water. One of our local bottled water companies admits on the label that the spring water is from "a comunity water source", i.e. tap water. That statement is in fine print. Our local river, the Rogue, originates from a spring in the Cascade Mountains, so technically the river, from which the city draws its water, is "spring water". The spring just happens to be about 60 miles away.
