If those two towns just now removed fluoride from their water, then they are not the first. Cities across the us have been removing fluoride for years.
Here’s a link to the cdc. Just select your state then county and it has a list of towns/ cities and wether they have fluorinated water
In the meantime, you all should seriously consider getting a reverse osmosis filter. Here's the unit I have. It fits under the sink without a problem. I also bought a water tester and the contaminate count went from 450 PPM out of the sink down to 4 PPM out of the filter. I got 250 PPM out of the filter on the refrigerator.
Amen!! I take a 1/4 teaspoon in the morning and again in the evening. Since I started doing this, my brain fog has gone away. I just feel like my thinking is sharper.
Just started taking a little Celtic salt in the mornings. I'm a week and a half into it. No drastic changes, but subtle. My complexion seems healthier for sure.
Got one. If it supplies water to your refrigerator for water and ice, be sure the line is not copper as reverse osmosis water leaches copper into the water and can cause serious liver and brain problems. (Wilson's disease). I had to have the plumber change my line out to non copper.
"In the movie Dr. Strangelove, General Ripper claimed that water fluoridation was destroying “our precious bodily fluids”—a reference to the claim that water fluoridation was a conspiracy designed to weaken US willpower and make the country susceptible to a Communist takeover."
Two municipalities in New York state moved to suspend water fluoridation in light of a federal judge’s ruling earlier this week ordering the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to address potential risks that fluoride could pose to children’s intellectual development.
An announcement issued by Yorktown Supervisor Ed Lachterman’s office, which referenced U.S. District Judge Edward Chen’s ruling Tuesday, said that the Westchester County city would suspend the practice of adding fluoride, which some health officials say is beneficial in fighting cavities, to the tap water.
“In light of this federal ruling and the long-standing concerns expressed by many Yorktown residents, I have decided to suspend water fluoridation as a precautionary measure,” Lachterman said in the statement, released Thursday. “Our priority is the safety and well-being of our community, and we believe it is prudent to pause fluoridation to further assess its potential impacts.”
The supervisor of the town of Somers, located near Yorktown, said that the suspension of fluoridation in Yorktown means that Somers won’t have fluoridated water, either.
“Removing fluoride from Somers’ drinking water would give residents the freedom to choose their own sources of fluoride, ensuring personal control over their health decisions. Additionally, concerns about potential long-term health risks from fluoride exposure support reevaluating its use in public water systems. Somers applauds Yorktown for making this decision,” Somers Supervisor Robert Scorrano said in the news release.
In August, the Northern Westchester Joint Water Works started adding the chemical compound to Yorktown’s tap water for the first time in seven years, the town said. Fluoridation was re-initiated after upgrades were carried out at two local water treatment plants to meet higher health and safety requirements.

The two facilities, the Amawalk and Catskill Treatment Plants, added Hydrofluorosilicic Acid to the tap water with a target dosage of 0.7 milligrams per liter, the city said.
Yorktown and Somers appear to be the first municipalities in the United States to have ended water fluoridation after Chen’s ruling in which he sided with multiple advocacy groups and directed the EPA to address the risks of adding fluoridation. The agency, he wrote, is required to ensure that there is a margin between the hazard level and exposure level.
“If there is an insufficient margin, then the chemical poses a risk,” the judge wrote. “Simply put, the risk to health at exposure levels in United States drinking water is sufficiently high to trigger regulatory response by the EPA” under federal law, according to Chen.
His order also cited “scientific literature in the record“ that ”provides a high level of certainty that a hazard is present” and that could demonstrate “fluoride is associated with reduced IQ.”
But Chen, on multiple occasions, stressed that his ruling doesn’t stipulate that fluoridated water can, with certainty, cause lower IQ in children.
“This order does not dictate precisely what that response must be,” the judge also said, referring to what the EPA might do to address the potential risk.
Since 2015, federal health officials have recommended a fluoridation level of 0.7 milligrams per liter of water. For five decades before that, the recommended upper range was 1.2 milligrams per liter. The World Health Organization has set a safe limit for fluoride in drinking water of 1.5 milligrams.
The towns’ decisions also come about a month after the federal National Toxicology Program found there is a link between higher amounts of fluoride exposure and a lower IQ in children. The agency used studies involving fluoride levels at about twice the recommended limit for drinking water.
It found that exposing children to high levels of fluoride, which it defined as 1.5 milligrams per liter, was “consistently associated” with a lower IQ in kids. It also made reference to other possible neurodevelopmental problems associated with the compound but suggested that more evidence is needed.
“This review finds, with moderate confidence, that higher estimated fluoride exposures ... are consistently associated with lower IQ in children,” the federal agency’s report reads.
Yep, and I haven't seen a bit of harm. How can you measure I.Q. when (a) they have done their best to eliminate objective intellectual testing, and (b) seriously deficient schooling promotes bottom-of-the-barrel thinking? Children have far more to fear intellectually from their negligent parents and brain-washing teachers, than from safe levels of fluoride.
I've heard of this concern since before I was a teenager, back in the 1950s. I have always wondered what the evidence was, since it was impossible to notice on any practical level. This was back when everyone was also freaking out over DDT in the food chain. It has since turned out that DDT is innocuous; the birdshell brittleness came from birds that were fed diets deficient in calcium and phosphorus... Meanwhile, millions of children have needlessly died from malaria and other insect-borne lethal diseases.
2 down, thousands to go.
...exactly...
...let's pray that the domino effect takes hold...

There's a $30 coupon going now so make sure you clip it. The filter replacements are around $75. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I0ZGOZM
Make sure you use celtic sea salt.
Amen!! I take a 1/4 teaspoon in the morning and again in the evening. Since I started doing this, my brain fog has gone away. I just feel like my thinking is sharper.
I get the same results using good rehydration packs.
Thanks for the tip. Do you have a link to where you get yours? Thanks in advance.

This is 100% true.
Drip drip flood.

"Mandrake, come over here, the Red Coats are coming!"
“You can’t fight in here. This is the war room.”
😂un-fluoridated tears of laughter!
I hope the fluoride mongers go broke. Is it Dow Chemicals or who?
I just sent off a contact email to Gov. Youngkin with this article requesting VA be the 1st state to ban the fluoridating of water.
Although, after clicking send, I realized I'd forgotten to check the "I'd like a response" box.
I'm not holding my breath...
Sounds like NY got a few good people
Gotta remember how red it actually is when you remove nyc and albany
Truth!
Yay!! This is huge!! It is a start! Thank you!
Woo-hoo!

It should be federally outlawed. Its worse than sewage.
