And:

The Canadian Bottled Water Association advises against reusing the containers altogether. It says the containers are made for single use and should be recycled afterward, not reused. People would be unable to properly sterilize the bottles at home, and the industry doesn't evaluate the safety of the bottles for multiple uses, said Elizabeth Griswold, executive director of the Canadian Bottled Water Association. "I would assume a study done on reuse would be redundant, because that's not their purpose," she said. But while it is for different reasons, Griswold agrees with researchers that it isn't a good idea to use the same bottle repeatedly. "All I would be able to say is that it's not something we recommend."

Now there's a neutral source with specific info for ya! People who sell the bottled water are sure to know what they're selling (I mean talking about)!
