Ashland lawmakers OK $420K equipment purchase for wastewater division

The mayor said the use of fluoride in Ashland’s water is expected to stop Friday. The stoppage is not the result of any city-made decision, he said, but rather Ashland’s supply will be empty effective Friday. Miller said the city is unable to get any fluoride currently due to the situation in the Middle East, causing vendors to be unable to secure the amount needed. He is unsure of what comes next, but Ashland has contacted various state agencies to let them know what’s happening. It will not impact the quality or taste of city water, Miller emphasized.
