Safe Water Calgary

If fluoride was so safe, why is the equipment so difficult to install?

CANADA - "Adding fluoride to the City of Regina's water supply has been delayed until 2027.

It means fluoridated water will not begin flowing until mid-to late 2027.

Johnson said the delay comes after contractors carrying out upgrades at the Buffalo Pound water treatment plant failed to follow the correct plans when constructing the chlorine chemical building.

"They had not followed the plans and unfortunately the design that was done was assuming that the work [that] would have been done basically followed the plan. It didn't," Johnson said in a phone interview.

That means the design for the fluoridation equipment has had to be reworked, he said.

It's the latest in a series of setbacks to a plan originally approved in 2021."

Tennessee has passed agriculture subcommittee motion to ban community water fluoridation in the state. Next step to pass full agriculture committee.

TENNESSEE - HB 2396, the Tennessee bill to ban fluoridation, passed the House Agriculture subcommittee by a close 4-3 vote, with one abstention.

It will now go to the full House Ag committee for a vote next week.

The companion bill in the Senate was postponed until next week.
