USA - ASHEBORO, N.C. –The water supply in Asheboro is once again safe to use

ASHEBORO, N.C. –The water supply in Asheboro is once again safe to use and to drink. There was reason for concern on Monday after a system malfunction dumped a large dose of fluoride into the water supply.

Mimi Cooper, Randolph County Public Health, was called to work on the plant on Monday but says that there was most like never a reason for concern.

"For most people, there was probably no exposure at all," said Cooper. "You have to have been in your home during that period of time and had some water to drink or had ingested it in some way."....

60 gallons of fluoride pumped into the water supply in one go.
