Pure water is considered neutral, as it is found at "7" on the pH scale.

Ideally bottled water would be neither an acid, nor a base. However, most bottled water is actually slightly acidic (pH 6.0-6.5). The reason bottlers do this is that their research shows that people like the tasty of slightly acidic water better than the taste of truly neutral water.
