Officials at the Minnesota Rural Water Association have found the best-tasting water in Minnesota.
On March 6, 2007, at the 23rd Annual MRWA Water and Wastewater Technical Conference, the winner of a statewide competition was announced in an effort to identify the tastiest rural water in the state, and participants hope, in the nation.(photo below)
Small and rural water utilities from around the state submitted samples of their water, straight from the tap. The winner of the event was the City of Isle, whose water sample was chosen by judges as the most appealing. It tasted clean, pure and refreshing, stated the judges.
“Because of the quality of this water, Minnesota has a good chance at the national taste test in Washington, D.C. added Ruth Hubbard, Administrator, Minnesota Rural Water Association.
The competition is part of a Quality on Tap! Campaign to emphasize the high quality, standards and, consequently, taste of water. Winners of the state taste test will compete in a national contest at Capital Hill in Washington, D.C. on April 29, 2007. This event is part of the Rural Water Rally, an annual legislative event for the 45 state affiliates of National Rural Water Association.
