The Big Pitcher

I stand corrected.

I just received my May 2008 issue of the APGA Newsletter. As I predicted, the Host Committee put together the obligatory "Top Ten Reasons to Attend" the Annual Conference. But I also predicted that they would have overlooked the best tasting water as a reason to attend. But, according to the authors:

Number 8...
To sample L.A.'s tap water, recently rated the best in the world. (Really. We could have named the conference, "The Big Pitcher.")

I'm not happy that they and I came up with the same play on words, but there probably aren't that many original ways of saying such things.

Kudos to the Host Committee for a great top 10 list, and what continues to look like a great meeting.

Water, Water Everywhere

And LA's is the best to drink.

I'm pretty certain that the Host Committee for APGA 2008 will have some sort of "Top 10" list in the upcoming APGA Newsletter as a final pitch to get people to attend the meeting. It seems to be a tradition among the Host Committees, and I'm sure this SoCal group won't let us down.

Among the reasons to attend that they may have missed is something rather surprising...Los Angeles has the best tasting municipal water in the country. Yes, the city with the least breathable air won the award at the 18th Annual Berkley Springs International Water Tasting.

So there is no excuse this year folks. Bring a reusable water bottle to the meeting this year. It's about the only way you can be assured to always be drinking the best water in North America during The Big Pitcher...er...um...Picture.
