The water supply manager (Gary O’Meara) has asked me to respond on behalf
of Capacity Infrastructure Services Ltd.  We manage the water reticulation
for WCC, HCC, UHCC and PCC within the Wellington Region.

 

We do not add any fluoride related chemicals to the water.  In the
Wellington Region the bulk water supplier Greater Wellington Regional

suggest, if you have not already, you contact them.

Good morning Mr Strype

 

In response to your Official Information Request directed to the Ministry
of Health I have the following information to provide:

 

The Thames Coromandel District Council has eleven (11) registered water
supplies, the largest being in Thames. Thames is the only water supply on
the Coromandel Peninsula dosed with fluoride. The form of fluoride dosed
is Hydrofluorosilicic acid (HFA, chemical compound H2SF6). The product is
injected at a Ministry of Health recommended rate of 0.7mg per litre (0.7
parts per million) into the post clarified and filtered water at the
Thames Water Treatment Plant. The injection process is closely monitored
and alarmed       electronically.

 

The local distributer of the product is Ballance. They control the QA of
the product and our supplier Orica Chemnet collects from their site. I
believe the product is locally produced on the North Island.

 

Regards

Hi Danyl,

 

Thank you for your request regarding the water fluoridation chemical
