ASHEBORO, N.C. - A malfunction in the fluoride distribution system of the city's water treatment plant Tuesday morning resulted in an over-release of the chemical into the city's water supply, according to a news release from the city.

Between 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., approximately 60 gallons of fluoride were dispersed into the water system. That same quantity was supposed to be released over a 24-hour period.

According to the city, affected water lines and hydrants were flushed and the fluoride levels in the city's water system returned to the normal range by 4 p.m.
