Who has the best water? Pffft, we know

Political commentator Peter van Onselen gave the Twitterverse something other than COVID-19 and protests to tweet about when he mused online about which capital city had the best and worst-tasting tap water.

He nominated Melbourne as having the best and Perth the worst.

But we have to set him straight. Canberra has the best.

Within 24 hours, the post had received close to 1000 comments, with many people declaring that the national capital did, indeed, have the best tasting tap water.

And they're not alone.

In 2017, the Water Industry Operators Association of Australia did indeed declare the ACT winner of the best tap water.
