The fluoridation of public drinking water has been a recent topic of discussion in the news following a ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Augusta Water continues to follow all guidance and recommendations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) for fluoridation and remains in compliance with applicable limits. Augusta Water will continue to follow the discussion closely and make any necessary changes to remain in compliance with EPA and VDH standards.
