WHERE ARE WE IN THE PROCESS OF ADDING FLUORIDE TO THE WATER YOU USE? YOU MIGHT RECALL, THE ALBUQUERQUE-BERNALILLO COUNTY WATER UTILITY AUTHORITY HAS AUTHORIZED THE PLAN TO ADD FLUORIDE TO DRINKING WATER. DAVID PRICE IS THE AUTHORITY’S ENGINEERING MANAGER.

PRICE SAYS THEY’RE NOW WAITING ON PROPOSALS FROM BUILDERS BEFORE TAKING THE NEXT STEP. THE ISSUE OF ADDING FLUORIDE TO THE SYSTEM’S WATER GENERATED A GREAT DEAL OF DEBATE BETWEEN THOSE WHO SUPPORT THE IDEA AND THOSE WHO ARE OPPOSED TO THE PLAN.
