Rosetown stops artificially fluoridating the town’s drinking water

  • The community of approximately 2300 people will no longer receive artificially fluoridated water.

    After the town’s fluoridation feed-pump broke down, a decision was made that there is already a sufficient amount of fluoride in the town’s well water.

    Background levels of natural fluoride throughout the town wells is said to be at approximately 0.5 ppm (mg/L). The town considers this to be an acceptable amount, therefore, there is no need to repair the broken pump.

    Most recently, Health Canada suggested municipalities adopt a level of 0.7 ppm (mg/L) as the ‘optimal’ target concentration for fluoride in
    drinking water.

    Town council meetings are held on the 3rd Monday of every month.
