Appleton Water Utility serves about 75,000 people with water from Lake Winnebago. The company’s process to deliver water to customers is an advanced treatment effort through lime softening, recarbonation, filtration, fluoridation, UV treatment and disinfection.
“We are incredibly proud of this achievement and the hard work of our team,” relief operator Kyle Smith said. “It’s an honor to be recognized for delivering water that is not only safe but also tastes great. We look forward to representing Wisconsin at the national competition in Denver.”
