In a popular contest at the Earth and Water Festival in Montgomery on Saturday, the Village of Goshen was awarded the title of best-tasting drinking water for the year 2015.
The contest judges the tap water from different municipalities around the county, and in the event that a town, village, or city has multiple water sources, the best one is chosen for the competition.
Goshen’s competitors were the City and Town of Newburgh, the Town of New Windsor, the Village of Monroe, the Village of Highland Falls, and the Village of Woodbury.
Last year the Town of New Windsor won first place.
The County contest has been held off and on for the last 15 years.
