Florida Cities Stopped Adding Fluoride to Water. Here's The List So Far

Given Ladapo's war on fluoride, several local governments have decided to stop adding the naturally occurring mineral to their public water supplies since November 2024. Here is the growing list:

Fort Pierce
Melbourne
Naples
Ormond Beach
Palm Bay
Port St. Lucie
St. Lucie County
Stuart
Tavares
Winter Haven

Although anti-flouride activists are gaining momentum in cities across the Sunshine State, the City of Leesburg in central Florida voted in December to move forward with its plans to add community fluoridation.
