SUNRIVER, OREGON – The Oregon Association of Water Utilities 46th Annual Technical and Management Conference, held each March at the Sunriver Resort, proved to be successful for all attendees.  At the annual awards banquet the City of Lebanon was named as the Best Surface Water and Best Overall Water in Oregon for the 2024 year. 

Water from the City of Lebanon will be entered to represent Oregon in the National Best Water Contest at the annual National Rural Water Association’s Rural Water Rally in Washington D.C. at the end of this year.

The City of Lebanon has excellent water which was proven this year by an unbiased panel of three judges who blind taste tested drinking water from around Oregon, judging it on clarity, bouquet, and taste.
