Doesn’t it also cost a hefty amount per year to add the poison to the water?

I can’t believe that someone, somewhere within the administration didn’t have a light bulb moment and suggest that letting the tanks run dry would save a bunch of money. Common sense isn’t so common anymore.

It isn’t poison.

From 1997 City of PG correspondence “considering the magnitude of costs involved in restoring full fluoridation within the municipality…”
Any costs associated with ending fluoridation rests squarely on the Mayors and councilors that voted to add or keep HSFA in the water. You did not have the assent of the citizens.
City Hall – be honest with the taxpayers and release the real costs of the fluoridation program. It’ll put these numbers into perspective.

I wonder what they did with the tanks. I am looking for large water storage tanks for non-potable water.

Poison in our water? Another case of too many low IQ’s using emotion to defeat good science. Just like another group that refuses to get their kids vaccinated for polio.

Nice too see the fluoride taken out of the water. It most likely cost them a 100 thousand a year just to put it in the water and now no more maintenance. Thanks for the referendum.

Most people never knew that fluoride was in the water and never knew when it was taken out.

Palopu–If you look at the water under a magnafine glass you can see it. ha!

Might be a little hard to look at the water under a magnifying glass as the fluoride has now been removed. As I said most people never knew it was there in the first place.

Prince George tap water is among the best water in the Province. It is supplied from underground aquifers and is equal to or better than bottled water.. Not only that but it is much fresher that bottled water, because it is not sitting around in storage warehouses in plastic bottles for months.

Problem is a lot of people have been conned into drinking bottled water as opposed to water from their taps, even though tap water is much better.

I guess their need to pollute exceeds their need for fresh water .

I have never met anyone who said that their health was damaged by water fluoridation. I don’t recall an obituary where water fluoride was cited as the cause of a person’s death. Yet people are willing to spend mega bucks to eliminate their paranoia’s and conspiracy theories.

@ bill poser

Try looking up the MSDS sheet for HFSA before posting nonsense.

@Contractor

HFSA is classified as a poison as well as an acid. Dumping it into our water supply can be classified as poisoning the water supply. Concentrations may be classified by the gov as low enough to not be injurious to human health, but there has been any of number of times the gov has made claims like that for drugs and chemicals; only to come back 20 years later and say that toxicity levels were set too low.

However, if you want to continue consuming the phosphate industry’s toxic waste then by all means, feel free to order a tanker load for your own personal comsumption.

Hahaha. You might want to look at alcohol to see just how poisonous it is. We put alcohol in our water all the time, then mumble and stumble, and look dazed. Alcohol is poison, yet some people drink it every day.

Truly amazed by how many people in this town drank the anti-fluoride koolaid. Thumbs down all you want; I’ve got actual science on my side (ie. not written by naturalnews or realfarmacy).

@Palopu

Your analogy is flawed and ridiculous. Alcohol is not marked with a skull and crossbones and an accompanying MSDS sheet. HFSA, on the other hand, is. The concentration required for HFSA to kill you is many times lower than the level of alcohol consumption required for alcohol poisoning. You have to consume massive quantities of alcohol to be “poisoned” by it.

Also,consumption or over consumption of alcohol is a personal choice. There is no mass alcohol dosing of a population without consent. The same couldn’t be said with fluoridation. People were being dosed with it whether they wanted it or not.

Fluoride toothpaste and fluoride treatment during a regular dental checkup is more effective at preventing cavities than dumping a toxic waste product into our drinking water.

@Hahaha, faulty argument – MSDS only applies to the stored HFSA, there is no MSDS for tap water. Once you mix HFSA or other versions of concentrated fluoride there is a reaction and it is no longer HFSA or other derivative. The MSDS for the product only applies to when it is stored at full strength. There is a MSDS for chlorine but we still put it in our water and the MSDS does not have to be posted at every tap in the city now does it.

Hahaha,.. How convenient you left out the concentration that is poisonous and the concentration that was in our drinking water.. you must be a politician.. What’s the LD 50 ? I deal with MSDS on a daily basis so go blow smoke up someone else’s butt.

@Hahaha there is an ongoing joke going around the internet on water itself being poisonous at high doses. Did you know rust is oxidization of metal, you should stop breathing oxygen as it is highly corrosive.

LMAO people still believe that fluoride in drinking water is bad? Oh wait enough idiots believe that to have gotten it removed from our drinking water. Truly a case of the “moronic majority”

I wonder whose friend earned that wad of tax payer cash?

If it cost us $95,000.00 to remove it I wonder what it cost us to buy it?
