The optimization of fluoride levels in Espanola’s municipal water supply has resumed. Water fluoridation was temporarily paused at the Espanola Water Treatment Plant in May due to an equipment malfunction with the fluoride analyzer. Optimizing the levels of fluoride in drinking water systems is a safe and effective way to prevent tooth decay. Repairs to the system have been completed and fluoride concentrations have returned to optimal levels in Espanola.
