USA - Guilford Water Authority ends fluoride treatment
CHAMBERSBURG - Guilford Water Authority will stop adding fluoride to its water supply in a month.
Fluoride is known to prevent tooth decay, but in recent years people have questioned the safety and ethics of placing the naturally occurring chemical in a public water supply.
The authority decided to stop its practice after a public hearing a year ago. The authority, with approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, sent out notices to water customers on March 8. The public water system serving 26,000 customers in Guilford and Greene townships will stop adding fluoride on April 18..................
