TRC Employee Push Arachchi with the TracWater Best of the Best Queensland Water Taste Test competition runner-up award.

Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) has been narrowly pipped at the TracWater Best of the Best Queensland Water Taste Test competition, named as runner-up to Fraser Coast Council.

TRC Water and Waste Committee Chair Cr Rebecca Vonhoff said it was reassuring to hear the Region's water is among the best in Queensland.

"There is a lot of pride in the work our team does to treat the water we drink every day," Cr Vonhoff said.

"Thanks to the staff who work tirelessly to ensure we all have access to a safe and reliable water source.

"A clean, sustainable water supply is vital for our health.

"Our drinking supply has previously been named the best in the State and a sample from our Mt Kynoch treatment plant was used to represent Australia at a world event in 2017 after we claimed the Ixom Best Tap Water in Australia competition in 2017."

The competition took place at the Burke and Wills Hotel in Toowoomba as part of the qldwater Annual Forum on 5 September.
