BERKELEY SPRINGS, W. Va. —– The Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting, the world’s most prestigious, gave out awards Saturday to waters from three continents including Colorado’s Eldorado Springs, which won for best municipal water in the United States.

Ten media judges spent hours tasting and selecting from waters sourced in 18 states, seven Canadian provinces, and five foreign countries.

“There were waters from Macedonia, Greece, France and four from New Zealand,” said Jeanne Mozier, an event founder.

“The judges job is crucial and so is their training,” Mozier said. “We wanted to acknowledge this and developed the Certified Water Taster designation presenting all our judges with diplomas.”
