Well, if it's just pure water then yes, it contains 0 calories. Water is a substance that is necessary for life, but it has no nutritional value - no protein, carbs or fat to comprise of calories for our body to use as energy.
Drinks like Propel Fitness Water contain some calories from added sugars. But those are carbs from sugar, not water. Water is in just about every single drink there is, but the calories do not come from it.
This is why water is the best thing to drink. You shouldn't be getting calories from most drinks (some exceptions, like pure fruit smoothies or vegetable juices), and in America, we consume something like 15% of our calories from added sugars in drinks like Coke and Pepsi on average. That's ridiculous. And it's because soda has a ridiculous amount of added sugar (even worse, it's high fructose corn syrup).
So try to stick to water...adding some lemon adds negligible calories, and making unsweetened iced tea is another great way to flavor your water without adding any calories.

Yes it is. I used to drink pop and stuff all the time..then I began mainly drinking water and lost a bit of weight. I figure, if you're going to drink something, drink water because a lot of other things have many unnecessary calories :P

Yes. It's the one really healthy "food" out there that is truly calorie free. ***exceptions include some spices and UNSWEETENED TEAS that have negligible calories (2-5 per serving).
