After over 25 years of adding fluoride to its city water system, the Pasco City Council voted Monday to halt the practice.
The decision came despite opposition from hundreds of citizens and dental professionals who wanted fluoridation to continue.
Initially, the council voted to put the issue on the ballot next year, but that ended in a 3-3 tie because the council is currently down a member. In the end, the vote was 4-2.
