• Clearbrook BC Wins Gold for World’s Best Tap Water

  Monday, March 7th, 2016

  Clearbrook (a neighbourhood of Abbotsford, BC) won the 2016 gold medal for best municipal water in the world on February 27, 2016. Municipalities from around the world compete annually for this award at the Berkeley Springs Water Tasting Competition which takes place in West Virginia. The event is also known as the Academy Awards of Water.

  Over the past decade Clearbrook’s water has repeatedly earned the gold medal for ‘best municipal water’ at Berkeley Springs, the largest annual water tasting competition in the world. Clearbrook won the gold medal in 2008, 2009, 2014 and 2016. It took home the bronze medal in 2015.

  Clearbrook gets its water from the Abbotsford-Sumas aquifer. No chlorine, no fluoride, no chemicals added!

  Although tap water in surrounding Abottsford is chemically treated and sourced mostly from Norrish Creek, the small neighbourhood of Clearbrook has proudly maintained control over its own water supply since 1953. The Clearbrook Waterworks District conducts frequent water quality tests and diligently maintains its water distribution system.

  2016 Berkeley Springs International Water Competition

  This was the 26th annual international water competition at Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. The water of Berkeley Springs has been known for hundreds of years for its healing properties.

  The competition consists of 5 different categories of waters.

  Winning waters are judged for being clear, odourless, ‘clean’ tasting, ‘light’ feeling, and with an aftertaste that ‘leaves you thirsting for more’.

  Monday, March 2nd, 2015

  Clearbrook (a neighbourhood of the City of Abbotsford, BC) just won the bronze medal for best municipal water in the world at the 2015 Berkeley Springs Water Tasting Competition. This international competition, held annually in West Virginia, is also known as the Academy Awards of Water. Nearly 100 waters from 19 U.S. states, 6 Canadian provinces and 6 other countries were entered into the 2015 competition.

  Congratulations Clearbrook! May your water remain chlorine- and chemical-free long into the future despite growing pressures to subject municipal waters to disinfectant chemicals.

  Clearbrook has maintained scrupulous control of its water supply since 1953. No chlorine, no fluoride, no chemicals added!

  Although tap water in surrounding Abottsford is chemically treated and sourced mostly from Norrish Creek, Clearbrook proudly maintains its own water district and pumps its tap water supply from a pristine aquifer. The Clearbrook Waterworks District conducts frequent water quality tests and diligently maintains its water distribution system.

  Clearbrook has been a consistent winner in the annual international water competition. In 2008, 2009 and 2014 Clearbrook took the Gold medal in the tap water category.
