Etowah utility wins taste test

Friday, January 1, 1904

Etowah Utilities boasts the best-tasting water in Southeast Tennessee, according to a competition among water utilities conducted by the Tennessee Association of Utility Districts. In a taste test of water samples from Etowah, the Athens Utility Board, Hixson Utility District and Ocoee Utility District by a three-judge panel, Etowah water was judged to be the best and its water utility will participate in a statewide competition with other regional winners in August. The statewide winner then will compete in Washington, D.C., for the "best tasting water in America" award.
