AN ACT REVISING THE AMOUNT OF FLUORIDE TO BE ADDED TO THE WATER SUPPLY BY WATER COMPANIES.

SB 474 changes the required fluoride level in public water systems from being tied to U.S. Health and Human Services recommendations to a fixed standard of 0.7 milligrams per liter. This applies directly to all water companies serving communities across the state. The bill updates Section 19a-38 of the general statutes to establish this consistent level, aiming to support dental health through stable fluoride exposure. The legislation focuses on standardizing the provision rather than altering health outcomes.
