ALABASTER, Ala. (WBRC) – The City of Alabaster Water Department will stop adding fluoride to the public drinking water system effective Monday, June 8, 2026.
The Alabaster Water Board said the decision was made after “careful evaluation of operational considerations, including employee safety, equipment maintenance requirements, chemical handling procedures and long-term infrastructure needs associated with the fluoridation system.”
According to a social media post from the board, the discontinuation of fluoridation will not impact the water treatment or disinfection processes. They said water quality will continue to be their highest priority.
If you wish to continue receiving fluoride for dental health, you’re encouraged by the board to reach out to your dentist for options, including toothpaste, mouth rinses, supplements, or professional treatments.
The Central Alabama Water system also recently announced it would be removing fluoride from its public drinking water suppy.
