Milwaukee water to temporarily have less fluoride; here's why

Due to national supply chain constraints affecting fluoride treatment additives, Milwaukee Water Works will temporarily reduce the amount of fluoride added to drinking water. The City of Milwaukee Health Department is working with Milwaukee Water Works to provide residents with public health information throughout this temporary adjustment. The water remains safe to drink and continues to meet water quality standards. This temporary adjustment is related only to the availability of fluoride treatment additives and does not affect the overall safety or quality of Milwaukee’s drinking water.
