Central Alabama Water stops adding fluoride to tap water due to aging infrastructure, cost, and safety concerns, with no impact on water quality, while Hanover Borough delays decision amid public debate.
Central Alabama Water will stop adding fluoride to drinking water due to aging infrastructure, safety risks, and high costs, citing no impact on water quality.
The move avoids $4 million in upgrades and $250,000 annual maintenance, with officials noting fluoridation is not federally required.
The change affects only supplemental fluoride, not overall treatment.
Meanwhile, Hanover Borough Council postponed its decision on fluoridation after a tied vote, opting for more public input and research amid ongoing debate over health risks and benefits.
