Palmer to discontinue adding fluoride in water

The town of Palmer will discontinue the practice of adding fluoride to city water.
The Palmer City Council voted 6-1 Tuesday to prohibit fluoridation in the public water supply, effective immediately. Fluoride in the town of 6,000 northeast of Anchorage has been added to the water since 1967.
Palmer City Clerk Janette Bower said Friday the council asked for an investigation in response to citizen concerns about the possible health effects of fluoridation.
Bower says Palmer has a small amount of naturally occurring fluoride in the water.
Palmer joins other Alaska cities discontinuing adding fluoride to water systems, including Fairbanks and Juneau.
