Final Technical Guidance

   DEP ID: 383-2125-001. Title: Proposals to Add or Remove Fluoridation Treatment by a Community Water System. Description: This document provides guidance to community water systems (CWS) to clarify existing regulatory requirements regarding the addition or removal of water fluoridation treatment under the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721.1--721.17) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 109 (relating to safe drinking water). Although the use of fluoride by a CWS is discretionary, a CWS that adds fluoride during water treatment must meet and follow certain regulatory requirements. This guidance explains these requirements as well as the procedures that must be followed if a CWS decides to discontinue fluoridation.

No public comments were received during the 30-day public comment period, which concluded on December 8, 2003. Effective Date: March 13, 2004.
