According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, in a report titled “Bottled Water Regulation and the FDA” (reprinted from Food Safety Magazine August/September 2002 issue):

What is the shelf life for bottled water?

Bottled water is considered to have an indefinite safety shelf life if it is produced in accordance with CGMP and quality standard regulations and is stored in an unopened, properly sealed container. Therefore, FDA does not require an expiration date for bottled water. However, long-term storage of bottled water may result in aesthetic defects, such as off-odor and taste. Bottlers may voluntarily put expiration dates on their labels.

Chemicals slowly leach into the water from the plastic bottle. Eventually this may lead to a noticeable bad taste.

Because when water isn’t moving (such as when it’s in a bottle) it becomes stale and stagnant.
