description The safety of drinking water is the result of the implementation of the microbial barrier concept. A major difference between bottled and tap water is that bottled water is sealed in a vessel. After sealing there are considerable microbiological activity result in a deterioration of water quality.The relationship $Microbial\,Health\,Risk\,=\,\frac{{\left[{Number\,of\,Microbe\left(s\right)}\right]\times\left[{Virulence}\right]}}{{\operatorname{Im}mune\,Status\,of\,the\,Host}}$ allows us to understand the possible health threat from microbes that may be found in drinking water. The nature of microbes whice multiply in drinking water is different from that of human pathogens. Based on the available knowledge concerning each of the components of the infection fomula, and the lack of epidemiological information relating naturally occurring heterotrophic plate count bacteria with infectron, the human health risk from these natural bacteria are not established.
