Racine's water best in the nation.


RACINE - Racine's water has been named the best in the nation.

The U.S. Conference of Mayors awarded Racine the title of best tasting city water in America.

Mayor John Dickert picked up a $15,000 cash prize from a contest sponsor for his city.

Racine's water comes from Lake Michigan and is double-filtered.

Congratulations. An amazing feat when you consider all the poop that Milwaukee pumps into the lake.

The water is very good here. I don't buy water. If you put it in a jar, put it in the refrigerator and let it sit, any chlorine taste evaporates. It beats most bottle water taste.

I think my friend, Monsieur Dickert, should put that $15,000 toward a new filtering system for the downtown splash pad so the drama doesn't return on that topic.

I thought I heard a reference to using the $$ for advertising Racine's good water.

A little Brandy takes the chlorine taste out of the water too KK.

I'm going to sell empty bottles and call it instant Belle City Water - just add water.

I hope no one pees in Lake Michigan or they will have to drain it!

Bottled water tastes plasticy. Always keep a good chilled pitcher of tap water around.

Why does he get the money, anyway? Did he do something to improve the taste of our water?

As suggested elsewhere, I vote for him using the money to pay for his own defense against lawsuits instead of bilking the taxpayers again.
