The best tasting water in all of North America can be found in Hardin County, Kentucky.  Judges at the AWWA North American Convention reviewed the water quality of 27 ‘Best Tasting Water Champions’ representing their individual Sections on June 22, 2010 in Chicago.  Hardin County Water District No. 2 was the representative of the Kentucky-Tennessee Section.  The Water District had taken first place at the Section level competition at the Annual Professionals Conference held in Lexington on July 14, 2009.  The Judges, consisting of a panel of distinguished water quality professionals, first sampled all 27 participants and narrowed the field to the top 5 finishers.  Hardin County Water District No. 2 is proud to have made this cut to earn “Best of the Best” distinction in North America.  Once again, the water sample had been taken from a point in the distribution system.  The District is committed to providing our customers with the very best water quality.  The water that reaches our customers daily is Top 5 in North America, the “Best of the Best.”

“All water companies have pump stations and pipe in the ground,” said Michael L. Bell, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners for the Water District.  “What makes our Water District great is the employees.  I am proud that our employees had the opportunity to compete at this level and come away with the distinction of being the “Best of the Best.”
