While many customers were wondering about the details of the critical pipeline leak on Christmas Day and the boil water notice, little information was disseminated.  The FKAA offices were closed for 5 days from Tuesday at 5 PM until Monday at 8 AM. On Saturday they did manage to post a notice that they had won a competition for the best drinking water in Florida.

The Florida Section of the American Water Works Association (FSAWWA) has a “Best of the Best” Tap Water Taste Contest where regional winners in Florida compete against each other.  Samples are judged on taste, color, odor, and clarity.  The judging is not scientific.  Ironic that the FKAA “Best Tap Water in the State” Award was announced while most of the customers were under a boil water notice.
