The Public Water Supply District 3 of Taney County was recently nominated for the Drinking Water System of the Year Award.
Each year, the Missouri Rural Water Association nominates at least three finalists for the award. Nominees are chosen by the association’s staff after reviewing submissions from both within the MRWA and from water utilities. Finalists are then visited by MRWA staff members and evaluated using a 100-point questionnaire. The honor alternates between two classes of water systems, with municipalities judged one year and water districts the following year.
