Why is fluoride listed as a contaminant in a City Water Report?
(Back to Top) Water naturally picks up minerals and other solids as it flows underground or as surface runoff. Fluoride is also added to many community water supplies. Water is thoroughly tested for many of these minerals and solids under the term “contaminants”. Contaminants do not necessarily indicate a health risk. It is just a bureaucratic term used by local, state and federal agencies involved in water purity and safety.
