CONSUMERCONFIDENCEREPORT <br />Fluoride: Fluoride is nature's cavity fighter, with small amounts present naturally in many <br />drinking water sources. There is an overwhelming weight of credible, peer-reviewed, scientific <br />evidence that fluoridation reduces tooth decay and cavities in children and adults, even when <br />there is availability of fluoride from other sources, such as fluoride toothpaste and mouth <br />rinses. Since studies show that optimal fluoride levels in drinking water benefit public health, <br />municipal community water systems adjust the level of fluoride in the water to a concentration <br />between 0.5 to 1.5 parts per million (ppm), with an optimal fluoridation goal between 0.7 and <br />1.2 ppm to protect your teeth. Fluoride levels below 2.0 ppm are not expected to increase the <br />risk of a cosmetic condition known as enamel fluorosis. <br />PUBLICWATERSUPPLYIDENTIFICATION(PWSID):1020036PAGE4 <br /> <br />
