BERKELEY SPRINGS, W.Va. — A community in British Columbia's Fraser Valley is being tapped as having the tastiest tap water in an international competition.
More than 120 water sources competed in the 18th annual Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting, held Saturday in West Virginia.
A panel of 10 journalists and food critics sampled sparkling, tap and bottled water from 19 U.S. states and countries including Canada, New Zealand, Romania, Macedonia and the Philippines.
The title of best municipal water was shared by the former town of Clearbrook, B.C. -- now part of Abbotsford -- and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which serves Los Angeles.
Los Angeles won a gold medal in 1998 and has been in the top five in four other competitions since then, according to the competition organizers.
"It means they give special care and attention to their water and how it is processed," said event producer Jill Klein Rone.

If there weren't so many people who hide their faces when committing violent acts then we wouldn't need a law forbidding masks. Unfortunately this is our society now. No one can hide their faces... we aren't special over here, violence has arrived and it is here to stay. Let's not kid ourselves. Violence just escalates to new levels. We've let this "hiding the faces" scenario go on far too long.
