Tauranga City Council considers providing fluoride-free water to avoid a government fine.

The Tauranga City Council is considering options to provide fluoride-free water for residents, following a government order to fluoridate the city's water in October. The council faces a potential $200,000 fine for non-compliance. They are exploring setting up a supply point near the city boundary, with estimated startup costs of $30,000 and annual maintenance of $5,000. Access would be through a metered communal tap, with usage charged back to the council.
