BERKELEY SPRINGS, W.Va.--The public water in Montpelier, Ohio, was tapped as the world's best by judges who tasted samples from as far away as Bosnia.

Eight countries, 23 states and the District of Columbia were represented at the 13th annual Berkeley Springs International Water Taste, which honored winners in five categories Saturday.

Montpelier, Ohio, won in the municipal category, followed by Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, Los Angeles; Desert Hot Springs, Calif.; Canora, Canada, and Kinross Charter Township DPW, in Kincheloe, Mich.

The bottled-water prizenwent to Mountain Valley Spring Water of Hot Springs, Ark.

The best carbonated water came from Harrogate Spa Water of Harrogate, Britain.

Clear Creek Water Co. of Farmington, N.M., won for purified drinking water, and StoneClear Springs of Vanleer, Tenn., won for package design.

Each sample was weighed on six points: appearance, odor, flavor, mouth feel, aftertaste and overall impression.

The ideal water is colorless and clear, odor-free, with a balanced mouth feel and no single overpowering taste or aftertaste.
