Kempsey council baulks at fluoridation cost

Kempsey Shire Council says it will ask the New South Wales Government for permission not to go ahead with fluoridating the local water supply, saying the operating costs are far too high.
While the Health Department is paying the set-up costs, local councils are being told they will have to meet the ongoing operating costs, which Kempsey council is estimating will be more than $110,000 annually.

But it will save them $1billion - according to previous post.
