• Boyne Falls – Naturally-occurring optimal level of fluoride of 1
• City of Charlevoix – Adds fluorosilicic acid to reach a level of 1
• Charlevoix Township – Naturally-occurring level of 1.7
• City of East Jordan – fluorosilicic acid added to reach level of 1

• Hemingway Pointe Condos – Naturally-occurring fluoride level of 1.4
• Horton Bay Club – Naturally-occurring level of 1.6
• Lake Michigan Heights MHP – Naturally-occurring level of 0.8
• Melrose-Chandler Water Company – Naturally-occurring level of 1
• Walloon Lake Water System – Naturally-occurring level of 1.3 …
