An Act relative to fluoride in water warnings
This bill requires water suppliers to add specific health warnings to annual Consumer Confidence Reports when fluoride levels in drinking water reach or exceed 0.3 ppm. The warnings state that pregnant people and bottle-fed infants may face developmental neurotoxicity and dental issues, and individuals with diabetes, kidney, thyroid, or inflammatory conditions may experience worsened health outcomes. It directly affects public water systems that must include this language in their annual water quality reports. The provision amends existing law to mandate these disclosures, not to change fluoride concentration limits.
