Rotterdam's water rated best

ROTTERDAM — This town, though recently plagued with water main breaks, can now at least say it's got the best tasting stuff coming out of its taps.
Rotterdam won the New York Tap Water Taste Contest, held at the New York State Fair in Syracuse, Acting Health Department Commissioner Dr. Howard A. Zucker announced.
The results were announced Tuesday at the final round of the competition. More than 200 fairgoers drank samples to select the winner from water systems that had won regional contests.
Rotterdam doused the village of Remsen in Oneida County (the runner-up), the city of Canandaigua (western region); the village of Malone (northern region) and White Plains (metropolitan region).
Rotterdam has had five water mains breaks since June 30. It's got a 60-year-old system with about 150 miles of pipes.
"The New York State Department of Health congratulates Rotterdam on capturing the 2014 bragging rights to the best-tasting tap water in New York State," Zucker said. "Having great tasting tap water encourages the healthy habit of consuming water. That is good for the person drinking it, for their wallet, for their health and for the environment."

But why to they say "tap water."   The puny, paltry, handful of 200 people (out of tens of thousands that probably attend the fair out of millions that live IN the state) really are not drinking tap water are they?

We've never been out there for this contest, but let's be real.  The communities need to fill jugs of water (from the tap) and cart them to Syracuse for what could be a several hours drive and it would be someone's wild imagination to say that all the transport vehicles arrive at the same time, so obviously some water sits stagnant for a while, etc.

We drink lots of water in our house, but not much right out of the faucet.  We fill bottles and always have the ice trays filled (ice in the warm weather anyway), personally we like it colder that way.



Speaking of water, it's heating up out there, humid.  It's pool time.  


Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent.  
Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and
speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

I drink 'select' bottled water!! Or reverse osmosis.
don't want to drink fluoride.

there's enough crap in what we eat and drink....at least that's one thing I can eliminate easily.
