<<Water in Greybull, WY tastes like sulfur or something. >> That's not all bad. I lived in a place that had a high sulfur content in the water. I never was bothered by ticks, chiggars or mosquitoes.

>>Our tap water is wonderful<< Ours is pretty good too... :-) (6/21/98) Anchorage Has Best Tasting Tap Water usmayors.org In Reno, NV, Sunday, June 21 Anchorage Has Best Tasting Tap Water MAYORS CHOOSE FROM SIX FINALISTS AT USCM'S ANNUAL MEETING Cities from across the nation competed in a bland taste test to determine which city in America produces the best tasting municipal tap water, and the winner of the first USA City Water Taste Test is the Municipality of Anchorage, AK. Mayors participating in the 66th Annual Conference of Mayors cast their ballots in favor of the water Anchorage produces from a combination of 600 foot deep wells, a glacier fed mountain lake and a protected watershed and reservoir. In addition to the best tasting water, Mayors selected Anchorage as having the best promotional water bottle. The "Glacier Brew" bottle featured a three-dimensional glacier iceberg graphic designed exclusively for the Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility. Tommy Jacoma, Restauranteur of The Palm Restaurant, Washington, DC made the announcement of the winners. Mr. Jacomo was a judge in the preliminary round of the competition which narrowed the over 100 entrants to the six finalists. The Taste Test, sponsored by the U.S. Conference of Mayors Urban Water Council, was designed to highlight that many cities across the county produce high quality, good tasting drinking water. High quality water resources are critical to economic and recreational development in our urban areas and contribute greatly to the overall quality of life in our cities. Mayors are continually developing innovative approaches to providing this essential service and meeting the challenges of aging water infrastructure and protecting drinking water sources. The Urban Water Council, begun in 1995, functions as a "task force" of the Conference of Mayors. The Council provides mayors a forum for addressing water and wastewater issues, such as the operation, maintenance, development and financing of water and wastewater infrastructure and the importance of watershed management to achieving national and local water quality goals.
