How does the rate of your city tap water?
On many occasions I heard people complain about the tap water that flows from taps in their homes. Sometimes its too hard, sometimes its too soft, it is rarely perfect. In fact, I still do not know it too hard or too soft to do with taste water, but I certainly heard of the water described in this way since I was a child. I read an article on the NBC site that describes a taste test was performed on the Today Show. It has actually been quite a test developed. The Today show's uses two prominent testers taste of wine to wet their palates with water tap twelve of the largest cities in the U.S. In fact, they poured the water in unmarked boots clean water and stored in water at 60 degrees Fahrenheit (temparture cellar). Storage instructions were to demand of these two distinguished taste testers.
The three main cities, according to experts were Seattle, Boston and Columbia, SC For some reason I find interesting that Salt Lake was the best. It seems that it should be salty (but what do I know). I visited Salt Lake City on several occasions Water and honestly did not leave a lasting impression on me. I do enjoy excellent green tea in a local restaurant which I suppose was made with tap water. This could be water or maybe it was the sugar in green tea and sweet (I remember what I did never had green tea sweetened before meeting during this trip).
So before venturing too far from the reason of this article let me give the name taste testers to you. They are none other than David Lynch's famous tasters and his colleague, Joe Bastianich. They used words to describe water I've just never heard of. For example, the Salt Lake City water was "delicious, sticky, thick and rich," Wow! I need to return to Salt Lake City and check it again. It certainly sounds awfully well described that way. Well, actually delicious viscous and rich sound. I think I tasted thick (more on well water which was plenty thick).
I dug in the ratings of water Salt Lake City, according to studies by the Task Force on the Environment and of course they had levels very low levels of contaminants in the water. The Salt Lake City had nine pollutants, Boston had six pollutants, and the British had 7 pollutants. Then, to my surprise, the city with the smallest number of pollutants has not been the winner. Of course, this was an unofficial taste test and toally subjective (based on the opinions these fine wine tasters). Perhaps this means that my theory of tasting cleaner water is better simply not correct. In any event, it is really interesting for me.
Then some of my own theories are certainly not supported by the test performed at the show today, but I learned something very valuable. I can now stop talking to the water as hard or soft, viscous and rich introduction in the mixture. In any event, this is certainly an ordinary glass of water more interesting.
