Fluoride Expected to be Reintroduced to Windsors Water by November
Eight years after it was removed, fluoride is set to return to Windsors drinking water later this year.
Fluoride will be reintroduced to Windsor's drinking water by the fall.
The Windsor Utilities Commission had set a timeline for later this year, but hadn't released a firm date.
An update was provided to the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit Thursday.
Officials tell the health unit that the process will be complete by November.
They say the COVID-19 pandemic and work to fine-tune procedures had delayed the launch.
Reintroduction will cost the city $850,000 and then $150,000 a year for system maintenance.
Fluoride was removed from city water in 2013.
