Fluoride in the water
December 29th, 2008
I have been complaining for a couple of days that the water from my tap tastes worse than usual. Then I see this. I realise the timing may not be the same (the article states that the fluoridation only started today), but it seems like a hell of a co-incidence.
Can anybody tell me if the fluoride has a discernible taste in the water? I’d like to know what is going on, because I’m not imagining that the water is tasting worse.
[Update] - Just noticed in yesterday’s Courier Mail (the 30th Dec.) that a couple of the letters to the editor (p.19) are complaining of the same thing. It seems that it is the recent storms that are the cause of the foul tasting water.

We thought the same thing here. But I was also unsure of the timing. But either way - I am happy to put up with the taste (I’ll get used to it, as I used to hate the water here anyway and eventually got used to it). The health benefits, in my opinion, outweigh the cons.
