USA - No More Fluoride to be Added to Palisade Water

..Frank Watt, the Public Works director, said, "We asked the question, are we achieving our purpose of providing the safest drinking water possible? The addition of fluoride did not help us achieve that goal."
So from now on the town will not be adding fluoride to its water, something that many other cities do, like Grand Junction.
"The addition of fluoride doesn't make the water safer ... does not improve the quality of water. It has known health benefits, but it also has known hazards," Watt said.
Hazards can happen when there is too much fluoride in the water. The decision was also affected because of the safety of the operators.
Watt told NewsChannel 5, "It is highly acidic [fluoride], it can burn your skin, burn your eyes. There were safety concerns for our operators at the water plant, as well as the public."........


I wish we had people in charge like these, here in Southampton.
