Best Tasting Water in Indiana Competition
Presented by Wessler Engineering
Does your utility have Indiana's best-tasting drinking water?
Put it to the test!
The Alliance's Best Tasting Water in Indiana Competition gives member water systems the opportunity to showcase the quality of their drinking water in a fun, statewide competition. Water samples are evaluated through blind judging based on taste, odor, and clarity. Regional champions earn a spot in the championship competition at the Alliance Fall Conference, where they'll compete for the coveted title of Best Tasting Water in Indiana.
Regional winners advance to the Best Tasting Water in Indiana Championship at the Alliance Fall Conference in Fort Wayne. Each regional champion also receives one complimentary Fall Conference registration to compete for the state title.
The overall winner will represent Indiana at the National Rural Water Association's Great American Water Taste Test in Washington, D.C., and receive statewide recognition for their utility and community.
