Fluoride

The American Dental Association (ADA) has recommended the concentration of fluoride at 0.7 mg/L in drinking water. The Tabernash Meadows Water and Sanitation District adjusts the fluoride levels in your finished drinking water.

  • Fluoride is naturally occurring in one of the district groundwater sources. It enters the water when fluorine-rich minerals in soils and rock dissolve. The district blends groundwater sources to maintain the concentration, and it is monitored closely by the Manager/Operator in Resposible Charge.
