Keep Fluoride in Battlefield Water Supply (PWSD #1).

Keep Fluoride in Battlefield Water Supply (PWSD #1).

The Issue

Consumers of the Greene County Public Water Supply #1 (Battlefield MO) want to keep fluoride in our water. 

  • Community water fluoridation is the adjustment of fluoride that occurs naturally in water to optimal levels to protect oral health.
  • Over 100 public health organizations have deemed fluoridated water safe and effective for all individuals.
  • It is cost effective and reduces tax-paid dental expenses.
  • Estimated district cost is $0.60 cents per person per year and for every $1.00 spent on fluoride, $38.00 is saved in dental treatment.  In this district, that equals $456,000.00  (based on $12,000/per year spent on fluoride).
  • Lower income families have ease of access.
