The city of Juneau will stop adding fluoride to the city's drinking water in about four weeks. Three weeks ago the Assembly voted 5 to 4 to stop adding fluoride. Assembly member Bob Doll brought the issue up for reconsideration last night. The vote was 6 to 3 vote this time.
City Manager Rod Swope said the public needs to be giving adequate notice before the city stops putting fluoride in the drinking water. He figures that will take about four weeks. The issue arose two years ago when it was discovered that a public works employee had stopped adding fluoride to drinking water because it was suspected of eroding city pipes.
