| If you missed the 34th Annual Conference & Exhibition of the Kansas Rural Water Association, we hope you're kicking yourself. Sponsored in cooperation with water-related state and federal agencies, KRWA's conference is always the best-attended water and wastewater conference in the Midwest (above is just a portion of the 960 people who showed up for the Wednesday lunch). We think it's also the friendliest conference, and it's certainly the best buy. Here are a few photos of what you missed in '01 if you weren't there. | ||

A panel of master water tasters - David Waldo of KDHE (left), Gary Smith of
Rural Development, Ned Webb of KDOCH and Dennis Schwartz, director of KRWA and
president of NRWA - decided that Jefferson RWD 13 had the best tasting water in
Kansas. But the Hyatt ignored the results of the tasting and served conference-goers
Wichita city water.
