Is your water the best in Nebraska?
Continuing a tradition started in 2009, the Public Information committee is again coordinating a water-tasting contest at the Fall Conference. Is your water the best-tasting in Nebraska? Bring a sample and find out if you can topple Lincon or Fremont, each of which have placed at the national level after winning in Nebraska.
Sample entries must be submitted by a Nebraska Public Water Supply System with no state or Federal drinking water violations in the previous calendar year. Each system is entitled to enter one sample in a one-gallon container of its own choosing (glass is preferred). Label the sample carefully and clearly with the name of your system. Collect it no more than 48 hours before the contest, and store it at 40°F to 70°F.
The samples will be served at room temperature to a panel of judges, who will rate them for taste, color, odor, and aftertaste.
