Ridgeland Votes to Restore Fluoride | Jackson News

Ridgeland is bringing fluoride back to its water supply after a close vote, with the Board of Aldermen rejecting a motion to keep it out — a decision influenced by a health department presentation and eased supply chain issues. The equipment, offline since 2021 due to pandemic disruptions, is now being repaired or replaced at a cost of $150K–$300K, plus ongoing fluoride expenses — all without raising water bills for residents. While some board members prefer topical fluoride applications, the majority prioritized community dental health. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
