Following Raleigh Water’s win for first place at the recent annual North Carolina American Water Works Association (AWWA) competition, Raleigh Water earned an invitation to the highly regarded International AWWA Conference. This event was hosted by the ACE in Toronto, Canada. The ACE23 conference brought an estimated 10,000 attendees, hailing from every corner of the United States and from over 90 countries. ACE23 holds the title of being the world’s longest-running water conference as it first convened in 1881. This event showcased over 440 expert presentations and featured more than 450 exhibitors.
Best of the Best Water Taste Test at ACE23 is decided by a panel of judges who participated in a blind taste test. Comprised of trained water flavor profilers, the judges’ panel ranked the City of Miramichi in New Brunswick, Canada as the first-place winner, with the City of Grand Junction in Colorado following in second place, and notably the City of Raleigh in North Carolina claiming third.
Raleigh Water is proud to include this honor with other achievements that we have recently won, such as the Pisces Recognition Award for our efforts in the Bioenergy Recovery Project, the 5 - Year Director's Award at ACE23 for our commitment to superior water quality, the 2023 OUUG Customer Excellence Award for outstanding customer service, and the President's Award in recognition for achieving the highest level of contributions to the improvement of water supply management.
