Kerang, Swan Hill to get fluoridated water
Posted 9 hours 55 minutes ago
Fluoride is to be introduced to the water supplies at Kerang and Swan Hill.
The Department of Human Services is introducing the water fluoridation of drinking supplies to another group of towns across Victoria.
The plans have previously prompted strong debate in towns including Robinvale, but the Government says there is now a huge body of evidence showing it is safe and prevents tooth decay.
The department's Dr Chrissie Pickin says information will be distributed to residents and information sessions will be held next month for residents to ask questions.
"There's now overwhelming evidence that this is safe and effective and most people we know will welcome this and many have actually been waiting for it and pressing for it to start the process as soon as possible," she said.
I wonder?
