fluoride

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral often added to drinking water to reduce dental cavities.

Without the supplemental addition of the mineral, that amount will go down to about 0.5 mg/L. According to a BOPU news release, the lower amount of fluoride does not pose any kind of health risk.

The BOPU release says the lower fluoride levels don't present any kind of health hazard other than the water possibly offering less protection against tooth decay.

The council voted unanimously — 6-0 — to pass the resolution.

Roberts says the city will contract a third-party firm to receive, validate and tabulate the survey results.
