For the second time in four years Douglas County has the best tasting water in Nevada.

Cave Rock Water Treatment Plant had won first place for the state’s best tasting water.  The service area includes Cave Rock, Lakeside and Skyland systems.  They get their water directly from Lake Tahoe.

Another Douglas County system, “Montaña,” was second.  This system represents a water well servicing homes near Jack’s Valley Road north of Genoa.

In 2014 Douglas County Utilities won first place for a well in Genoa.  The following year, Glenbrook Water Co. took first place for the state.  That year Glenbrook’s sample went to the finals in Washington, D.C., where it won first place in the United States against nearly 1,000 others.
