Water District No. 17 is committed to the quality and safety of our water supply.
WCID No. 17 fluoridates drinking water to the level recommended by the American Dental Association of 0.7 milligrams per liter (parts per million). Because of infants high fluid intake relative to body weight, infants consistently consuming formula mixed with tap water may possibly ingest fluoride above the recommended levels. The Center for Disease Control recommends that infant formula be prepared with distilled or demineralized water. Parents are encouraged to speak with their pediatrician about the type of water appropriate for the formula being fed to their infant.
