Who has the best-tasting tap water?
PHOTO: RNZ Will a sip of pure Waitaki water take the crown or will Waimate reclaim its title from 2023? That is the question for municipal water suppliers across New Zealand as they go head-to-head in Nelson next week for the best-tasting tap water title. All municipal water suppliers in New Zealand have been invited to compete in the IXOM National Water Taste Test and submit a sample of their finest drop to the Water Industry Operations Group of New Zealand. The award for New Zealand's best-tasting tap water will be decided on May 29 at the annual water industry group conference. During judging, water samples are subjected to a blind taste test and rated according to the ''Water Tasting Wheel''. The wheel outlines some of the attributes water professionals use when assessing water such as colour, clarity, odour and taste. In the ultimate showdown, the 2025 winner will go on to represent New Zealand against Australia's reigning champion in a transtasman water taste test, in July. — APL
