No fluoride in our water

Gosford Council director of water and sewerage Mr Rod Williams has said that Peninsula water does not contain fluoride.

He was responding to resident concerns about the possible fluoride contamination of the Peninsula water supply.

Water bought from the Hunter contains fluoride, and concerns were raised about the possibility of the fluoridated water being used to supply the Somersby Dam.

"The Hunter-sourced water goes into the North-Wyong water supply," Mr Williams said.

"No fluoridated water makes its way into the Peninsula supply."

Wyong Shire has used fluoridated water for many years, and has occasionally been supplied with water from Gosford.

By using water purchased from the Hunter, Wyong reduced its dependency on the Gosford supply, he said.
