Congratulations to the City of Stratford Water Department

Congratulations to the City of Stratford Water Department for winning “The Best Tasting Water in Ontario” competition at the 2010 Ontario Water Works Association’s Annual Conference in Windsor.
Municipalities throughout Ontario entered into the competition which was judged by delegates one day, then a panel, including wine tasting experts and water professionals, the next day. This was Stratford’s first year entering into the competition.
Stratford was the only competitor entered that draws its water from wells, the other competitors use treated surface water from lakes and rivers. Joe Salter, Manager of Water Treatment and Distribution, believes that this gave Stratford a leg up on its rivals, as groundwater tends to taste better because it contains minerals and has some flavour, unlike surface water sources that can taste flat. Citizens and visitors alike may reconsider purchasing bottled water and start drinking some of the best tasting water in Ontario right out of our very own taps.
