Do You Think You Have The Best Tasting Water in California?
To enter your water in the “Best Tasting Water in California” contest, bring a one-gallon, room temperature sample in a sanitized glass container* to the Expo Registration Desk no later than 9:30 am on Tuesday, April 29, 2025. Ensure your system’s name is clearly labeled on the container; failure to meet any of the abovementioned requirements will disqualify your best-tasting contender.
SELECTION PROCESS
Judges will sample the entries based on clarity, bouquet, and taste. The initial round of tastings will narrow down the competition to three finalists. The final round of the taste test will take place at the Rural Water Taste Test Luncheon on Tuesday, April 29, 2025. The finalist and the winner will be announced at the CRWA Awards Banquet that evening. The winning system’s water will have the opportunity to represent California at the Great
American Water Taste Test in Washington D.C. in February 2026!
Please complete the section below and submit it to the CRWA Resource Development Department by April 25, 2025, or bring it to the Expo along with your water sample. Please print clearly so we know whose name to announce at the Awards Banquet.
The Operator of the Year Nominations
This is your chance to brag about your system’s personnel! Do you have a water and/or wastewater operator who goes above and beyond to excel in their management of your water system? If so, we want to know about them and give them the recognition they deserve for being the best in the business! Each CRWA member system can submit one nomination in each field. Selection of winners will be based on a submitted example of how the nominee has contributed to the system’s operations and demonstrated their commitment to the system and its constituents. Information about the nominee’s achievements both within and outside of the system, as well as letters of recommendation, will also be considered during the selection process. This is a great way to honor your exemplary water and/or wastewater operator!
