drinking water quality in Germany?
Can anyone comment on whether the drinking water in southern Germany
is very pure, and are there companies there that deliver purified or
distilled water to residential homes?

Basic answer is that the water quality in Europe is equal to or better
(many say better) than that available in the US

True enough. But there are lots of people in the US (and Europe) who
drink bottled or filtered water for one reason or another, leaving the
original poster's question open.

distilled water??? H2O
Are your sure. Only available for technical purposes. Cannot be found in in
the food department.
Dangerous to drink as the body will loose important minerals. Even for
adults.
Thus as long it's not written on the milk-formula that it should be made
with distilled water: don't use it
The tap water has drinking quality everywhere. At some place the amount of
nitrate is too high for babies, thus you can buy in supermarkets bottled
water which is "suitable for baby food" (für Säuglingsnahrung geeignet).
Sometimes you can find also some kind of "baby water" - nice marketing gag,
expensive for the customers. In tests no better than "normal water" which is
"suitable for baby food".
In some places it's however a waste of money to buy bottled water. There the
quality of tap water is better than anything you can buy in bottles. As nice
the bottles may look and as expensive they will be.

Although the original poster, *Joe Schmoe,* to avoid
misinterpretation, should have had enough sense to include the reason
for the question.

_Mineral_ water yes evian, Perrier, Volvic that kind of stuff, people
buy it by the crate in bottles or have it delivered. Strange question
though. Distilled water has of course many application, for example
in chemical plant or steam irons, but I cant imagine wanting a
supplier for it to drink ...

Marketing, mostly.
Typically, tap water is safer than bottled water.

Huh? Use your brain - Germany is NOT exactly a "third world" country!
The rest of the world does not share our American obsession with
"designer" water, and SFAIK tap water in most of Western Europe is
probably more potable than our own.

Certainly better than many places in Los Angeles! (I know ienna's water
is piped in from mountain springs - I think that may be true of many
locations in Europe.)

I have a distiller and I've been drinking it for years. Isn't food the
source of nutrients?

Eh? "American obsession"? It's Europe that has the bottled water
onsession. If you want tap water in a restaurant you have to make
it clear that's what you want or you'll end up with a pricey
bottle of Evian or Perrier on your table. In the USA if you ask
for water in a restaurant you'll get tap water unless you make it
clear you want bottled water.
I admit the USA may have more brnds of bottled water, though.

Many US locations have water piped in from the mountains. San
Francisco and the SF Peninsula, for instance, And very tasty
water it is.
But many locations in Europe, as in the USA have reprocessed
river water from the likes of the Rhein or Hudson (Troy, New
York, had really gross wter back when I was their. And Blythe
California water is nearly undrinkable.)
