Winder and ESG Operations recently won Best Tasting Tap Water in the state from the Georgia Section of the American Water Works Association and the Drinking Water Taste Test Competition.
The judges were provided a sample of water from the Highway 53 Water Treatment Plant, which won the district level. Winder advanced to the statewide finals and then bested 16 other utilities for the best tasting tap water in Georgia. The city will now compete in the American Water Works Association’s national competition next month in Denver.
The tests were conducted in a scientific manner and judged by a celebrity panel of judges, according to news release from the city. Winder previously won the statewide taste test in 2014 and was the district champion in the 2023.
