Show Notes
Central Alabama Water, formerly Birmingham Water Works, has ceased fluoridation in three out of four filtration plants due to equipment issues. The remaining plant will also stop fluoridation due to costs and outdated equipment. Health officials are concerned as fluoride helps prevent tooth decay, particularly in children, and low-income families and those without regular dental care are at risk. The company plans to resume once repairs are made, with state leaders urging swift action to safeguard public health.
