Yes - back in the old days the best way of ensuring that there was a supply of sterile drinking water was indeed to buy bottled water. Back then bottled water was not that easy to buy and there were few brands about - Perrier being one of them.
These days bottled water is commonly available and I would suggest that there is no excuse for not providing sterile drinking water.
As for the exact law on the excavation of human remains - the law is absurd. The home office licence requires them to be excavated not in public view. Are we therefore saying that every archaeology news broadcast and programne that shows the excavation of human remains is in breach of the standard home office licence?
As a norm I would suggest that a gazebo for UKP 40 is a good bet to stop people from surrounding buildings looking at said excavations.
