The Timberville (Va.) Town Council unanimously voted to stop adding fluoride to its water supply, the Daily News-Record reported April 1.
Treasurer Melinda Hooke told the Daily News-Record that the town will no longer be adding fluoride due to health reasons and to save money because the town can no longer afford it. Ending water fluoridation will reportedly save the town about $10,000 per year.
The vote comes after several other cities and states have debated the health effects of water fluoridation. Utah recently became the first state to implement a statewide ban, while several other states are considering their own bans.
