In a hearing on Thursday, Mayor Randall Woodfin and the City of Birmingham lost their latest case against Central Alabama Water.

On Monday, Circuit Judge Frederic Allen Bolling issued a scathing order requiring Central Alabama Water to resume fluoride operations across its entire system, a move that may have catastrophic consequences for the utility's financial well-being and raise costs across the board.

Friday afternoon, Central Alabama Water announced that it will no longer add fluoride to its drinking water.

Madison Utilities appears to be moving forward with plans to stop adding fluoride to the city’s water supply after a motion to reconsider failed during a meeting Monday night.

The growing national concern over fluoride in drinking water may have impacted Madison Utilities’ decision to halt its fluoridization process.

The Madison Utilities Board will hold a public hearing on May 13 to hear residents' concerns or support for continuing to add fluoride to the local water supply.
