LITTLE ROCK, AR – Central Arkansas residents can take pride and satisfaction in knowing they have access to the best-tasting water in the region!

Central Arkansas Water won the annual Water Taste Contest at the Southwest Section American Water Works Association (AWWA) Annual Conference and Exposition, competing against the City of Tulsa and Peoples Water Service Company of Bastrop, LA.
