Hamilton, New Zealand: Hamilton City Council has deferred a decision on whether or not to re-fluoridate the citys water supply. Seven councillors voted to remove fluoride from the water in June, however, a subsequent referendum in October saw 70% of voters asking for the chemical to be put back. Councillors today voted seven to five to delay the decision until the outcome of a High Court decision in Taranaki. One of the options considered today was a plan, costed by reluctant staff at between $200,000-$300,000, to install an unfluoridated tap at the water treatment plant. Those staff have raised a suite of concerns about the idea.
