111175
. (a) In addition to the requirements of Section 111170, if a
bottler, distributor, water hauler, retail water facility operator,
or vending machine operator provides information in the labeling or
advertising stating or implying that this water is of a specific
water type (for example, "spring water") or treated in a specific
manner (for example, "purified"), the type or treatment shall be
clearly labeled in an easily readable format. In order to be so
labeled, the source or treatment shall conform to the definitions
established in Section 165.110 of Title 21 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, or, if not defined in that section, with the following
criteria:
(1) "Mineralized water" means bottled or vended water that meets
the requirements of "mineral water" except that the water contains
added minerals.
(2) "Natural water" means bottled or vended spring, artesian well,
or well water that is unmodified by mineral addition or deletion,
except "natural water" may be filtered and shall be sanitized with
ozone or an equivalent disinfection process and treated to reduce the
concentration of any substance that exceeds safety standards
established by the department.
(3) "Naturally sparkling water" means bottled water or vended
water with a carbon dioxide content from the same source as the
water. "Sparkling," "carbonated," or "carbonation added" means
bottled water or vended water that contains carbon dioxide.
(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, water
from a public water system that is unprocessed by the bottler or
vendor shall be in compliance with Section 165.110(a)(3)(ii) of Title
21 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
