Who has the best tasting drinking water in the state?  According to the American Water Works Association (AWWA), Wyoming has the best!  At the 2011 Ohio Section AWWA Conference held in Cincinnati this September, Wyoming water was declared “Best of the Best” in the annual blind taste test.  Our water was unanimously selected as the best by four judges in the categories of appearance, flavor, and odor.

What makes Wyoming water so great?  Mike Lippert, Assistant Public Works Director, noted our rich drinking water heritage as Wyoming has treated groundwater drawn from the precious and abundant Millcreek Aquifer for over 100 years.  Wyoming’s state of the art lime softening plant, which opened in 2000, is a great asset as well in controlling and balancing treatment processes.  Finally, Wyoming’s EPA certified water operators take great pride in treating water to the most stringent criteria.
