A committee, assessing whether fluoride should be introduced into Carnarvon’s water supply is planning a telephone survey to help gauge the community’s position on the proposal.

At the end of last year, the Health Department announced plans to fluoridate Carnarvon’s water.

Last week, the committee decided to carry out an independent phone survey early next year.
