    Skagit County: Water fluoridation may not happen at all

    (MOUNT VERNON)- The Skagit County Commissioners are expected to change their minds about water fluoridation.

    They’ll vote Tuesday morning whether to reverse their 2007 order requiring Skagit Public Utility District Number One to add fluoride to its water system.

    Skagit PUD has been unable to negotiate a contract with the Washington Dental Service Foundation, which had agreed to pay $1.2-million to set up the system.

    The Skagit County Commissioners will meet at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, the meeting will not include an opportunity for public comment.
