CITY WATER EARNS AWARD

The city of Ocala was awarded best-tasting drinking water at the 2023 Region XI North Central Florida Best Tasting Drinking Water competition on March 20, presented by the American Water Works Association Florida Section, in Belleview.

Five judges completed a blind taste test of six water samples from municipalities within the region before awarding the city of Ocala with the best-tasting drinking water. Each sample was judged on taste, color, odor and clarity.

Ocala will compete in the “Best of the Best” Tap Water Taste Contest against regional state winners from across Florida.
