Gippsland and North East Victoria to be fluoridated

More Victorian towns are to be fluoridated.

They are Sale, Morwell, Moe, Warragul, Traralgon, Wangaratta and Wodonga.

The Secretary of the Department of Human Services, Patricia Faulkner, today instructed two water authorities to fluoridate the drinking water supplies of these towns.

Gippsland Water will fluoridate the water supplies of the Gippsland towns and surrounding areas and North East Water will fluoridate the water supplies of Wodonga and Wangaratta.

Several weeks ago DHS announced that Horsham's water is to be fluoridated.
