Proposed fluoride level?

There have been many letters in the Voice arguing the pros and cons of fluoridated water. This is from the ADA site:


“Studies conducted throughout the past 65 years have consistently shown that fluoridation of community water supplies is safe and effective in preventing dental decay in both children and adults. Simply by drinking water, children and adults can benefit from fluoridation’s cavity protection whether they are at home, work or school.

“Today, studies prove water fluoridation continues to be effective in reducing tooth decay by 20 - 40 percent, even in an era with widespread availability of fluoride from other sources, such as fluoride toothpaste.


The issue could be put to rest if we know exactly what the expected level of fluoride to our drinking water will be. If it is no greater than 1.2 milligrams per million, there should be no cause for alarm to Villagers. It is proven to reduce dental expenses to a great extent.

Can the POA answer this question for us: What will the adjusted level be to our drinking water?
