FLUORIDATION
The Sonoma County Department of Health Services has released a feasibility study regarding the potential of fluoridating the Sonoma County Water Agency's water supply to help address pressing dental health issues in the County. To review the feasibility study, and for more information, visit the Sonoma County Department of Health Services Fluoride web page.
The Valley of the Moon Water District obtains about 85% of its water supply from the Sonoma County Water Agency and the balance comes from local wells.
The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, the same governing body that also serves as the Water Agency's Board of Directors, provides policy direction to the Department of Health Services on this and other public health initiatives. If a decision is made to fluoridate SCWA water supply, it will be made by the Board of Supervisors.
To communicate directly with the Sonoma County Department of Health Services call 707-565-4700, or e-mail Ms. Kim Caldeway at kim.caldewey@sonoma-county.org.
