USA - Mechanical glitch too much fluoride
Harpeth Valley still omitting fluoride
As of Saturday night, Harpeth Valley Utility District had not yet started adding fluoride back into its water system after a mechanical glitch led to about 1,000 homes in the Bellevue area getting too much of it.
John Brown, general manager of the utility district, said the district halted the flow of fluoride into the public water system Friday morning, and fluoride levels were back to normal in most areas by 11 a.m. Friday, Brown said.
Homes and businesses in Bellevue between River Road and U.S. 70 at Bellevue Center were affected, he said.
But "to err on the safe side," Brown said, the district is encouraging customers who used tap water to mix drinks such as baby formula and orange juice Friday morning to throw those drinks out.
The district serves about 16,000 customers in Davidson and Williamson counties.
Accidents keep happening
