Title

Regional Drinking Water Taste Test Winner (NB)

Explanation

GRU has over 60 employees who support our drinking water treatment, delivery, and compliance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We believe that the hard work and dedication of these people directly correlates to the quality of our community’s drinking water.  That dedication was rewarded recently when GRU competed against 9 different utilities in the region for the distinction of having the best tasting drinking water. Water was judged on clarity, taste, color, and odor. We are happy to report that GRU won the judges’ choice for the Best Tasting Drinking Water of 2016.

Recommendation:

The City Commission recognize GRU staff for winning the Regional Drinking Water Taste Test.
