WATSONVILLE FLUORIDATION FINE 08-20-10 05:50 a.v.

The City of Watsonville was cited for failing to fluoridate it’s water supply. The fine was issued yesterday by the State Department of Public Health 7 months after the City Council refrained from signing a contract for a 2-million dollar grant to pay for a fluoridation system. A committee which was established to continue negotiating the deal, was expected to bring the contract back to the council this past spring. The citation sets an August 29th deadline for the city to provide written assurance that it plans to comply with a 2003 state order to fluoridate, and calls for an implementation schedule to be submitted by mid-Sept.
