At the risk of tooting CO's horn, in my many years, I've been forced to serve tank water only A COUPLE of times. EVERY time we let the pax know that it was such, and offered an alternative. I understand peoples' paranoia over tank water but on CO at least, rest assured that we're obsessive about having enough bottled water.

are you sure about that? on CO between EWR-DEL I was told
they were running low on water during two separate trips. Not a way to
treat their platinums.
I generally skip meals on the flights, but I drink plenty of water.
I ditched CO for UA as my primary FF airline.

Ergo, using their logic, you shouldn't believe it's real "bottled water" even if you see the FA break the seal right in front of your eyes!
This is my question. Is there any evidence or any reason to beleive the airlenes are doing exactly that: purposely deceiving flyers.

A recent study found that a large percentage of those tanks were contaminated with e. coli bacteria. The effects of many strains of e. coli are miserable - stomach cramps, fever, diarrhea, and other wonderful gastrointestinal problems.
Sorry, Biff. What was I thinking . . . and I'll have those reports done by tomorrow morning.

Just as pptp stated, if the FA runs out of bottled and plans to use tap, they should let the passenger know. This has been my experience on AA and other airlines. However, I realize this may not always be the case.

There are eyewitness accounts of airline employees filling bottles and then resealing them? This is what I am asking.
