Hamilton water manager raises question about fluoride; backhoe out for repair
Summary
Water/Sewer Manager Ben reported a 2015 backhoe out of service due to a DEF system failure and asked council whether Hamilton should consider adding fluoride to its water supply after an EPD presentation; the council did not take a vote.
Ben, reporting for the Water/Sewer department, told the council that the 2015 backhoe is out of service after Tidewater Diagnostics identified a failure in the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) system and that a replacement part has been ordered. Ben said the repair is underway but did not provide a completion date.
Ben also reported he attended a water-utility forum at Callaway Gardens where the Georgia EPD presented on fluoride treatment and state requirements. He raised the question of whether Hamilton should add fluoride to the municipal water supply; the minutes record the matter as a question to the council rather than a proposal that was voted on at the meeting.
No timeline or motion to adopt fluoridation was recorded; the minutes show the topic was raised for council consideration and future discussion.
