H2Ohhh: City water in running for taste title

As Mayor Francis Slay mentioned earlier today, St. Louis is being lauded for what’s on tap.

 

The U.S. Conference of Mayors announced last week that St. Louis is among five finalists for the title of “Best Tasting City Water in America.”

 

Samples of municipal water from 93 cities were graded on taste, clarity and aroma by a panel of judges that consisted of Washington Post environmental reporter Juliet Eilperin, Tommy Jacomo, proprietor of a ritzy Beltway restaurant, The Palm, and Ben Grumbles, who runs the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Water.

 

Later this month, St. Louis will compete against Anaheim, Calif., Long Beach, Calif., Colorado Spring, Colo., and Toledo, Ohio at the Conference of Mayors gathering in Los Angeles to determine the champion. There, the judges will be the dozens of mayors in attendance.

 

The winner will receive $15,000 and, according to the news release, “bragging rights.” Maybe some sort of trophy would even be appropriate – they could call it the Water Cup.
