SILVERDALE – The high quality of Silverdale’s water was touted on the television morning talk show “LIVE with Kelly and Michael” Aug 13.

Show hosts Busy Phillips and Michael Strahan taste-tested five glasses of water that had been featured as “America’s Top 10 Tapwater Cities” in a magazine called Rodale’s Organic Life. Water from five cities was tested on the show: Denver, Greenville, South Carolina, Louisville, Kentucky, New York City and Silverdale.

The five samples of water were labeled with numbers, but the cities associated with the numbers were not known to the hosts during the taste test.

Strahan tasted glass No. 1 – which was Silverdale’s water – and said, “Mmm,  that’s some delicious H2O.”

“One is good,” agreed Phillips. She added that glass No. 2 – from Greenville, South Carolina – was “almost exactly the same” and said glass No. 3 – from New York City – was “much like two and one.”

After sampling all the glasses of water, the two hosts selected their favorites. Strahan had selected Silverdale as his favorite, while Phillips had preferred Louisville’s water.

In addition to the water from the five cities featured on the show, the magazine included five more cities on its unranked list: Chicago, Stevens Point, Wisconsin, Manchester, New Hampshire, Fort Collins, Colorado, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
