Sinc e the late 1970's , Minnes o ta Rules have required that pub lic water sup p liers ad d fluo rid e to their water if the natural water does not c o ntain the req uired levels o f fluo rid e. Farmingto n currently ad d s fluoride to o ur water to meet c urrent s tate rules that req uire the c ity to maintain the average fluoride content in the water at 1.2 milligrams per liter. DISCUSSION In April, the U.S . Department of Health and Human S ervic es (HHS) in c o njunc tio n with the Center for Disease Contro l (C DC ) provid ed new guid anc e that recommend ed that public water s uppliers maintain an average fluo ride c oncentratio n level o f 0.7 milligrams p er liter. This c hange is b as ed on researc h that lo oked to b alanc e the benefits o f fluo rid e with the potential negative effects of high fluo rid e c o nsump tion. The Minnes ota Dep artment o f Health (MDH) plans to begin the formal rulemaking p ro cess which will likely res ult in the s tate ad o p ting the average fluorid e c o nc entration of 0.7 milligrams per liter as rec o mmended by HHS and the CDC. MDH has offered a potential variance to the c urrent rules in light of the fac t that they will b e modifying the rules in the future. What this means is that if a p ublic water s up p lier desires to lo wer the c o nc entratio n o f fluo rid e in their water to an average of 0.7 milligrams per liter versus the current req uirement of 1.2 milligrams p er liter, they c an ap p ly fo r a variance and begin this prac tic e prior to the rule b eing formally c hanged . Fluo rid e is currently injected into raw water as it is p umped fro m eac h o f the c ity's wells . S taff has inspec ted the injec tor p umps and have determined that the current pump s are able to b e adjus ted to p ro vid e the lower fluoride level if the b o ard c hooses to apply for the varianc e and red uc e the average fluo rid e concentratio n of 0.7 milligrams p er liter. It s hould be no ted that while the lo wer fluorid e c o nc entration level is currently optio nal, it will likely b e mandato ry in the future. T he variance req ues t fo rm is attached for your referenc e. BUDGET IMPACT Bas ed on c urrent annual productio n, staff es timates that moving to the lo wer average fluoride level would s ave b etween $5,500 and $6,000 per year. We d o no t anticipate additio nal c o s ts to upgrad e or mo d ify the fluoride injec to r pump s at this time. ACTION REQUESTED Disc uss this topic and if the board feels that the c ity s ho uld ap p ly fo r the varianc e to lower the average fluoride level in our water p rio r to the lo wer c o nc entration being mandato ry, d irec t s taff to apply for the variance.
