One of the featured stories on every news program in the southland today is about the tap water in Los Angeles.

Winner of Best Tap Water

It has improved a great deal since I lived in the Valley in the 1980s and complained several times about the murky appearance of my tap water.

The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett

Los Angeles Water District supplies best tasting water.

I grew up in Los Angeles and never thought about the taste of the water. Tonight on Countdown, Keith Olberman said that the reason the water tasted so good was because it had bacon bits in it. Oh my I don't want to know any more....

When I hear the words "Los Angeles" and "water" I think of two films.

First, Roman Polanski's Chinatown. Second is a documentary I watched in an anthropology class that details the history which Chinatown was based actually based on, called Cadillac Desert. Based on those my knowledge of the history of water and Los Angeles, I find it even more interesting that LA won an award for its tap water. :huh:

I have edited my original post to correct the link that was not working.

The current link should take one to the story.
