Taste

Over the course of the year, a change in taste of water delivered by the SLVWD can be observed.  Similar to the range of tastes observed in commercially available bottled water due to the varying minerals each brand contains, the taste of water delivered by the SLVWD also varies with its sources in operation. 

SLVWD’s source water is made up of both ground and surface water.  At different times of the year, a combination of these sources can be used at any time, depending on source availability and conditions.  A difference in taste will be noticed as the SLVWD transitions from using its various sources of water supply.
