YOU’RE WAITING ANOTHER MONTH TO FIND OUT HOW THE ALBUQUERQUE BERNALILLO COUNTY WATER UTILITY AUTHORITY BOARD VOTES ON ADDING FLUORIDE BACK INTO THE MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY. THE BOARD POSTPONED THEIR DECISION ON THAT ISSUE WEDNESDAY NIGHT UNTIL NEXT MONTH. THAT CAME AFTER BOARD MEMBERS HEARD FROM 32 RESIDENTS. THERE WERE PASSIONATE APPEALS FROM BOTH SIDES … FOR AND AGAINST FLUORIDE.
FLUORIDATION OF THE DRINKING WATER WAS SUSPENDED IN 2011. KLARISSA PENA (PEN-YAH) … TRUDY JONES… DEBBIE O’MALLEY… AND ALBUQUERQUE C-A-O ROB PERRY WERE BOARD MEMBERS VOTING TO DEFER THE DECISION UNTIL THEIR NEXT MEETING SEPTEMBER 20TH.
THE BOARD’S PLAN TO REPLACE FLUORIDE WILL COST 260-THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR EQUIPMENT AND INSTALLATION.
