DeForest Village Board votes to reintroduce fluoride to water supply

channel3000.com · last updated

DEFOREST, Wis. — The DeForest Village Board voted 5-2 Tuesday to begin the process of reintroducing fluoride to the village’s water supply, reversing a decision made roughly one year ago.

The board simultaneously voted to rescind the resolution that originally removed fluoride from DeForest’s water system. The narrow margin reflects ongoing community debate over water fluoridation practices.

Village leaders also committed to investigating alternatives and exploring potential grant programs for residents who prefer fluoride-free water options. However, these alternative measures would require a separate report and additional board approval before implementation.
