Baby Steps... Alderman Seeks Fluoride Warnings

A proposal to reduce the amount of fluoride in Milwaukee's drinking water will be considered by a city council committee on Tuesday, but a last-minute amendment backed by several aldermen also directs the Milwaukee Water Works and the Health Department to tell citizens of the potential risk fluoridated water poses to babies under six months of age.

The original plan, backed by Ald. Jim Bohl, calls on the water works to reduce the amount of fluoride to 0.7 milligrams of fluoride per liter of water. That measure is the standard the federal Department of Health and Human Services has recommended that the nation's water systems adopt. That proposed standard, which has not been fully implemented nationwide, would replace the current recommended range of 0.7 to 1.2 milligrams of fluoride per liter of water.

Milwaukee's fluoride level is 1.1 milligrams of fluoride per liter.
