The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California has the best-tasting water in the world, according to ”blind” taste-testing by a panel of 10 journalists and food critics.
The water originated in Northern California’s Sierra Nevada, was imported through the State Water Project, treated at the Jensen plant with state-of-the-art ozone gas and, as it leaves the plant, receives a bit of chlorine as a preservative.
It was then piped to Metropolitan’s customer water agencies in Los Angeles, Ventura and Orange counties and is usually blended with local well water before reaching homes and businesses. In other areas of Metropolitan’s six-county service region, in addition to well water, it may also be blended with Colorado River water, or water from the Los Angeles Aqueduct from the Owens Valley.
