Erie to start adding fluoride Oct. 27
Fluoride will be added to Erie’s drinking water starting Oct. 27, six months after voters here approved the additive.
The town of 16,000 is one of just a few remaining communities in Colorado that doesn’t fluoridate its water supply, and the issue passed by fewer than 100 votes.
Over the summer, Kansas City-based Burns and McDonnell Engineering Co. built an addition to Erie’s water treatment plant — including a tank, pump and monitoring equipment — that will allow fluoride to be added to the water supply.
