The board of health will continue a public hearing on whether to remove fluoride from town water. Board member John Campbell said he would make strong recommendations against fluoridation. Oak Bluffs is the only town on the Island that fluoridates its public water supply.
The Oak Bluffs water district has been fluoridating the public water supply since April of 1992, and is the only town on the Island to do so. But the board of health is considering ending the practice as soon as this summer. A public hearing will be held next month to discuss the issue.
