Half of delaware county gets publicity flouridated water

Article Abstract:

Only around half of the population of Delaware County, PA, is supplied with fluoridated water. This finding may be significant in light of recentreports linking an increased risk of tooth decay among US children to consumption of bottled drinking water. The Philadelphia Suburban Water Co., the water utility for the region, has a long-standing policy of taking first the consent of a municipality before fluoridating that municipality's water supply.
