Ixom Best of the Best Queensland Water Taste Test – Statewide Winner!
Date: 29-Jun-2017
Water from Toowoomba Regional Council’s Mt Kynoch scheme was selected as Queensland’s top drop in the 2016 Ixom Best of the Best Queensland Water Taste Test, with around 60 forum delegates participating in a blind taste-off of 14 samples from across Queensland. A panel of water experts then selected the winner from the top five entries.
The taste test took place at the qldwater Innovation Forum Technical Tour at Colleges Crossing on Wednesday 14 September.
The top five samples included Livingstone Shire Council (Woodbury WTP), Queensland Urban Utilities (West Brisbane), Seqwater (Gold Coast Desalination Plant), Seqwater (Molendinar) and Toowoomba Regional Council (Mt Kynoch).
Congratulations to all the entrants in the taste test this year; as usual it was a close competition. Toowoomba’s Mt Kynoch water will now compete against New South Wales in the “Water of Origin Taste Test” taking place at the WIOA conference in 2017.
Photographs from the Taste Test, the Mains Tapping Competition, and the Technical Tour on 14 September are all available on the qldwater SmugMug site.
