Bringing Home the Hardware!
It may sound like a broken record, but it’s one we will never tire of hearing. At the 2026 Iowa Section - American Water Works Association’s annual conference, Ames received the Judge’s Choice as the Best Tasting Water in Iowa. It it the fifth time we have been recognized with this award in the last nine years since the new Ames Water Plant came on-line.
We move on to compete in the North American contest next June that will be held in San Diego, CA.
Congratulations to all of the staff at the plant who keep the utility running every single day!
