According to the national contest sponsored by the American Water Works Association, Silverdale’s water is a close second in taste to that served up by the Macon, Ga., water system.

I haven’t gone to Macon to try it out, but I like the taste of the water I get from the Silverdale Water District.

I have to admit that a lot more of the water I buy from Silverdale gets flushed down my toilets and sprayed over my lawn in these dry months of the year than the amount I ever actually taste. But I do tend to drink a lot of water. And I almost never drink it from bottles unless I have no other choice. After all, most of the water you get in those bottles came out of the tap in some municipal water system anyway.

I have a large stainless steel tumbler that started life as a mixing container for milkshakes. Every day at home, I load ice cubes into it and fill it with tap water. I usually go through three or four tumblers full in an evening. When we’ve traveled to countries where tap water isn’t safe, I’ve found the thing that I’ve missed the most was being able to take a long, cold drink of water.

So here’s to Silverdale’s water. Maybe second in the country, but first in our hearts.
