Iola’s tasty water once again stacks up well with other producers from across the continent.
Iola water plant operators Lyndon Kern and James DePriest represented the community, which took second at the American Water Works Association “Best of the Best” contest earlier this month in Chicago.
The event consisted of regional water-tasting contest winners, including Iola.
Iola essentially tied with Bloomington, Minn., for the best tasting water, but was relegated to second because of a tie-breaker.
The contest featured entries from across the United States and Canada.
