Ask random people to compare tap water from Durham and Chapel Hill and expect results as clear as mud.<\/span><\/p>\n

9th Street Journal reporters learned that last week after setting up a blind taste test outside the Durham Co-op Market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tony Krawzzyk said Chapel Hill tap water tasted like something you never want to eat: plastic. His companion, Heather Izzo, found Durham water to be metallic.<\/span><\/p>\n

The North Carolina American Water Works Association and Water Environment Association does not agree. At its annual conference this month, judges there deemed tap water from the city of Durham more delicious than 10 other competing water systems — including Chapel Hill\u2019s <\/span>drinking water provider<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Why is Durham water, a top winner in 2018 too, tasty? Vicki Westbrook, assistant director for the Durham Water Management Department, credits the source. Durham draws water from Lake Michie and Little River Reservoir, \u201chigh quality\u201d human-made lakes in northern Durham County.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very lucky,\u201d Westbrook said. \u201cThe areas around them are relatively undeveloped and they\u2019re the headwaters so they don\u2019t get as much runoff compared to downstream reservoirs like Falls Lake,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The overall quality and taste of the water in these reservoirs varies from year to year, a fact that may explain Durham\u2019s 12-year drought winning the best-tasting title between 2006 and 2018, she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The actual treatment process at Durham\u2019s Daniel M. Williams and Brown Treatment Centers is \u201cfairly consistent\u201d with other public water system techniques, Westbrook said. \u201cWe may add some things here or there like other cities, but generally, the process is the same.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The fact the water department used chemicals to suppress algal growth in the lakes for the past two springs may have helped. \u201c<\/span>There are a large variety of algae that will grow in lakes, generally because the water is not moving as it would in a river or stream. Algae in the blue-green algae family tend to create taste and odor issues,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Durham’s water supply is not free of any trace contaminants<\/a>. Westbrook said the city is working to maintain quality water in part by protecting its sources. \u201cWe\u2019ve been trying to preserve the water quality by purchasing the surrounding buffer areas around the lakes,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The North Carolina American Water Works Association water-tasting competition isn\u2019t scientific, but it\u2019s surprisingly systematic. \u201cThe folks who have been managing this contest have a very specific ritual they go through,\u201d Westbrook said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the weekend conference, all tap water submissions must be turned in by 5 pm on Sundays. Samples are refrigerated at a consistent temperature until Tuesday when the water is tasted after reaching room temperature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The water is served in cups no bigger than Robitussin cups, said Westbrook, and judges use a swirl and swish technique familiar to wine tasters. Judges eat little crackers between each sample to cleanse their palates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the judges have tasted water for this competition, which Chapel Hill water\u2019s provider <\/span>has won<\/span><\/a> in the past, for over 25 years. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Outside the co-op, things were looser. Anyone willing was invited to stop by a dark brown card table, take sips poured from identical blue jugs and join a makeshift case study.<\/span><\/p>\n

Allison Sokol and Chase Johnson, two Duke University public policy graduate students, preferred a Durham sample \u2014 marked A\u2014 to water from Chapel Hill \u2014 marked B. Sokol displayed how fine-tuned some people\u2019s water palates are today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSample A is better. It tastes more like spring water to me. And Sample B tastes more like tap; like filtered. Sample B tastes more stale to me,\u201d Sokol said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Johnson agreed, Sample B is \u201ckind of heavy\u201d whereas Sample A is \u201ca little lighter,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But after an hour of canvassing, the final results were four votes for Durham, four for Chapel Hill, suggesting the two might not be that far apart.<\/span><\/p>\n

As she left Joe Van Gogh across the street from the co-op, Heidi Kippenhan had only nice things to say about Durham water, despite preferring what Chapel Hill serves up. \u201cI drink water straight from the tap all the time and I have no complaints,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n
