Georgia city wins national award for “optimally fluoridated water”

East Point wins national water quality award

Atlanta Journal-Constitution | Oct 14, 2009

The city of East Point has earned a national water quality award.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gave the city a 2008 water fluoridation award, for its “consistent and profession” adjustment of the water’s fluoride content to what the agency considers optimal levels for a full year. The effort is a key part of helping to prevent tooth decay.

The city’s effort also helps the state. Georgia is ranked sixth among states in providing optimally fluoridated water, with 96 percent of the population served by water systems reaching the optimal level.

  1. Haha. I guess the last time we made the news was when Lincoln was told a battle was fought here. Though no other news survives of it. Right now the local governent which had been telling people the city was out of bankruptcy, now is saying residents have been undercharged for electricity these past years and owe ever so much more–like it’s our fault for their alleged mistake–

    Sorry–haven’t had my water today yet–
