A notice of motion calling for Regina to start fluoridating its water in 2025 has the backing of nearly everybody on city council.
In four years, the new Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant is expected to be complete, at which point fluoridation equipment could start serving the city.
The cost would be “very reasonable,” the notice of motion says. There would be a one-time equipment purchase of $2 million, with a $210,000 cost per year for fluoride supplies.
Mayor Sandra Masters has signed the motion, along with every other ward councillor except for Ward 10’s Landon Mohl.
Coun. Bob Hawkins says the public would benefit from improved oral health.
