Group startsTrue or False

Answer 1

False. In general, the safety standards for tap water are typically more stringent than those for bottled water. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates tap water and sets strict standards for contaminants, whereas bottled water is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which has less stringent requirements for quality and safety.
