New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Mix-up May Have Led to No Water Fluoridation Public Notice
DEP spokesman said Hightstown did notify the DEP in September 2010.
A communication gap at the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection may have contributed to the public not being informed of the removal of fluoride from the borough’s water supply.
DEP spokesman Larry Hajna said Hightstown did notify a DEP field inspector in September 2010 when the fluoride was removed from the plant; however, the field inspector did not notify the DEP’s Bureau of Safe Drinking Water because he did not realize the removal of fluoride triggered public notification.
“This is another bit of information we didn’t have and this confirms the need for an investigation, a closer look at what happened,” council member Robert Thibault said. “This seems to indicate at least part of where problems could lie, within the DEP.”
At Monday’s council meeting some council members called for a committee to investigate why the public was not notified sooner. Thibault and Susan Bluth are on the committee.
Mayor Steven Kirson and council president Larry Quattrone both said records show Hightstown followed the proper steps in 2010 to notify the DEP.
“Hopefully we all recognize that there was no intention by the water department not to be forthcoming,” Kirson said.

"Mayor Steven Kirson and council president Larry Quattrone both said records show Hightstown followed the proper steps in 2010 to notify the DEP." As for notifying residents who elected these officials, and who actually drink the water, nothing was done. How is this not incredible?

Sodium fluoride in our water is toxic poison....I truly hope this argument is just about the usual political finger-pointing 'he said, she said', 'tit for tat' b.s. and not about putting the poisonous fluoride back into our water!!! Are they trying to keep our focus on the going back and forth on who did or did not notify whom...while they slip that poison back into our water supply???? People will have some explaining to do...we know what that stuff is!

@Ashley--I think your headline might be a bit misleading, the NJ DEP cannot be faulted for our municipal water plant operator's failure to notify ITS CUSTOMERS of a broken piece of equipment and change in the drinking water being supplied. Moreover, I would question who was actually notified--was the mayor at the time notified? Why didn't the water plant operators ask mayor/council for $$ for repairs? Instead, 2 months after they supposedly reported to the NJ DEP that a broken pipe caused cessation of fluoridation they asked mayor/council to approve $17,000 for fluoride! Wake up...this smells and it can't be pinned on a state ageny, but nice try.

Sodium fluoride was used in WWll to dumb down the prisoners, so that they could control them....is this is what is happening to the people in this world today? Could it be that There has been To much sodium fluoride put into our water supply.?? Just wondering!!

Pat's comment begs the suggestion that members of Council may have been ingesting the unused fluoride which explains their ignorance of the issue of fiduciary responsibility.

Water fluoridation is the best way to prevent tooth decay among children and adults who do not see a dentist regularly. Yes, when 15ml or more is ingested it is toxic. But it is in the water at 0.7ppm which is well below that level. Because of views like that and the consumption of soda and energy drinks, childhood cavities has increased in the last year. Don't let a google search make you think something helpful is harmful bc it isnt. If you read the water company's list of what is in the water, you'll see that things like arsenic and boron are also in there. I would be a little more concerned about those deadly chemicals which can harm at a much lower level.

Destiny...I don't remember ingesting fluoride at the dentist when I was a kid, matter of fact you had to make sure you didn't swallow when you were getting your treatments!! Can you tell me how exactly DRINKING the fluoride in our water is good for our teeth, since it passed right by our teeth into our digestive systems?? BTW arsenic and boron are organically in our water...not that they are good for you and I sure hope you have a good water filter at home! But they are not purposely added into our water supply. I 100% agree with Pat...do your research and to take your own advice use something other than google and dig a little further into the horrors of what fluoride is, it was used on the Jews by the Nazi's. Also, as far as the consumption of soda, which is poison and a whole different discussion regarding high fructose corn syrup and aspartame(if a diet soda), children shouldn't be drinking that garbage either!!

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control listed water fluoridation as one of the ten great public health achievements of the 20th century;[14]
