Honestly the volume itself is not bad. That's a lot of shelf space, even if it's borderline worthless air and water...
(Are the Americans ok?)
The ubiquity of bottled water in the US is a public declaration that we are a failed society.
There is a section of the US population that subsists off bottled water, but it's a minority and mostly lower-class. They might also live in old and poorly-maintained buildings where they think the pipes are of questionable quality, though if the water is actually unsafe to drink, the municipality will condemn the building. We of course have laws, so it's illegal to rent out a building with no drinkable water.
The vast majority of Americans just drink tap water. Some people run it through a filter to improve the taste. Tap water is safe to drink in at least 99.9% of the US. Bottles water is viewed as more of a convenience, for example when you're organising an event you might provide bottled water to attendees who don't want soda or beer.

Yeah and the fact that it is basically the only city in the country where the water has been undrinkable for a long time is indicative of the general reliability of water infrastructure in this country. The US is geographically as large as the entire continent of Europe and is the third-most populous country in the world after India and China.
