HANOVER, Pa. — The Borough of Hanover will hold a town hall meeting later this month to discuss the potential removal of fluoride from the drinking water supply.
Borough Manager Margie Lewis and Council President Tim Kress announced the meeting will be held from 6-8 p.m. on April 29 at the Borough Council Chambers in the Hanover Public Administration Building, located at 33 Frederick St.
“The meeting will be a listen-and-learn session to gather public input on the potential removal of fluoride from the Borough’s water system,” officials said in a press release. “Borough staff will present information on current fluoride use, including updates on costs and supply, and steps required to move forward. Council will not make any rulings on the matter at the meeting.”
Borough residents and residential, commercial, and water customers from Penn Township, McSherrystown Borough, Conewago Township and parts of Heidelberg Township, as well as other interested individuals or entities, are encouraged to speak on the topic, according to borough officials.
Each person will be asked to provide their name and address for the record and will be limited to five minutes to ensure all participants have an opportunity to be heard.
Community Media of South Central Pennsylvania will be present to televise the meeting. The link to access the meeting will be available on the Borough’s website at www.HanoverBoroughPA.gov.
The public will also have the opportunity to speak again on this topic at the regular meeting of the Borough’s Water and Sewer Committee, which will be held on May 14 at 7 p.m.
The matter will go to Council for consideration at the May meetings on May 20 and 27.
