Monson Takes 2008 MassRWA Taste Test
|
(Northfield MA, September 10, 2008) Mass Rural Water Association held its annual Trifecta on September 10, 2008. We had 150 attendees who had a wonderful day of training, good food, golf and competing in our highlighted event, Mass Rural Water Taste Test Competition. Monson Water Department defeated two previous National Water Taste Test Champions and some thirty other water systems throughout the state of Massachusetts to be knighted “Mass Rural Water Taste Test Champion 2008”. With this victory Monson will compete against the rest of the country for the National Title in April of 2009. That event will be held in Washington D.C. and is sponsored by National Rural Water Association. Craig Jalbert, water superintendent, of Monson said that he often gets compliments for the taste and clarity of the water that is produced from the ground water wells of Monson. This is quite an honor for The Town of Monson. In April, when Craig brings his water to Washington, Monson and Mass Rural Water Association will be shooting for a third straight National Title for the State of Massachusetts. Let’s all wish him luck when he jumps to the next level. Second place honors went to Norwich Lake Water Company (of Huntington Ma.) and third place to West Boylston Water Department.This was a very close competition and everyone who entered deserves a round of applause. This year, the three thirsty judges were David Tuttle (Massachusetts State Director of USDA), Yvette DePeiza (Massachusetts DEP Boston), and Jennifer Peterson (MWWA Executive Director). Mass Rural Water Association would like to thank all of our members and non-members who competed this year and attended our Trifecta. The training, barbecue, golf and especially the attendees made this year our best Trifecta yet. See you again next year. |
