Resident urges council to monitor fluoride research and reconsider water policy
Summary
James Evans told council he previously voted against adding fluoride and urged officials to review new studies and consider policy changes; he referenced past council votes and state-level debates.
Resident James Evans addressed the council about fluoride in the city's drinking water, urging elected officials to monitor new research and reconsider past decisions.
Evans said the city previously debated fluoridation and that a council vote in 2016 led to adding fluoride at that time. He asked the council to watch emerging studies and said the state of Utah has banned fluoride in public water supplies. "All I would ask you to do tonight, I'm not trying to make a decision or try to influence you 1 way or the other. I just want you to know a little bit of the history of the fluoride in our drinking water," Evans said, asking council to consider research and the welfare of children. No council action was taken; council thanked him for the comment.
