General labeling requirements. Containers of bottled water
distributed in this Commonwealth by bottled water systems, retail water
facilities or, when appropriate, vended water systems, shall have labels which
are designed to remain affixed to the container during use and which include
the following information as required by this section. Labels with the
following information on the caps of bottled water containers designed for
reuse by the bottler are deemed to meet this requirement if the
Department-issued identification number and the manufacture date, lot or batch
number are on the bottle:
(1) The name and
address of the water supplier together with the product trade name.
(2) The water source. When finished water is
the source, the name of the public water system shall appear on the
label.
(3) The Department
identification number issued to the bottled or vended water system or retail
water facility.
(4) The manufacture
date, or a lot or batch number. The manufacturing date, or lot or batch number

type and style, produced under conditions as nearly uniform as possible. A
batch or lot may not extend for longer than 7 days.

the words "mineral water." Mineral water which exceeds the MCL for total
dissolved solids shall include a statement on the label that the product
exceeds the MCL for total dissolved solids.

facility whose corporate name contains the words "Spring," "Well," "Artesian,"
"Mineral" or "Natural" or a derivative of those words, shall label each bottle
with the trade name in typeface of at least equal size to the typeface of the
corporate name.
