Nutritional information on the water bottle must be precise. Bottled water is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), who demand suppliers use an "approved source", which the FDA defines as:
[approved source] means a source of water...that has been inspected and the water sampled, analyzed, and found to be of a safe and sanitary quality according to applicable laws and regulations of state and local government agencies having jurisdiction.
However, the FDA does not define guidelines for which regulations may be considered applicable, nor set requirements for water sources in the absence of applicable laws. Additionally, bottled water suppliers are not required to document the approval of their sources. Water bottlers are permitted to sell contaminated water if, and only if, their labeling notes the water contains "excessive bacteria" or "excessive chemical substances". Water bottlers are not required to test for the presence of E. coli, cryptosporidium, giardia, asbestos, or certain organic compounds such as benzenes;. However, most bottled water is in fact heavily tested.
In the United States, tap water is regulated by the stringent United States Environmental Protection Agency. Bottled water is regulated under a similar, but less strict set of regulations from the United States Food and Drug Administration under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FFDCA" or the "Act"), 21 U.S.C. § 301et seq.

If you look carefully on the label you'll see that that particular water comes straight form the city lake at Talihina, Oklahoma, and there's really just all kinds of crap in it.

Water alone, has no nutritional value or taste, so it is added to give taste and vitamins.
It is listed so we can see what was added.
