But how do we stack up when other uses for our liquid reserves are inspected?

Yard-care company has taken a look at that very topic by ranking the ""

The list looks at the 200 largest U.S. cities in several areas, including consumer satisfaction, number of quality violations and the percentage of homes lacking basic plumbing.

And our fair burg barely missed making the top 20%, coming in at No. 41 out of the 200 cities.

Our best showing was a No. 28 rank in compliance, which took into account the number of times public water supplies have been cited for water-quality violations.

We clocked in at No. 59 when it came to the vulnerability of a water-delivery infrastructure, which focused on the number of homes lacking plumbing or kitchen facilities.

And we finished at No. 65 in the area of overall consumer satisfaction, which looked at drinking water quality and accessibility.

Only two of our major-city neighbors came out of the wash better than us: Nashville, Tennessee (17) and Louisville (19).

Finishing in our wake were: Cincinnati (42); Kansas City (53); Memphis (79); Indianapolis (94); and Chicago (117).

The best U.S. city for water quality was Columbus, Ohio; the worst, Garden Grove, California.
