Fluoridation of drinking water
Only the Pointe-Claire and Dorval drinking water production plants distribute fluoridated drinking water, the concentration of which is regulated by the Public Health Act.
Various purification treatments are used to provide high-quality water for public consumption. Fluoridation is an additional step, independent of the drinking water production steps.
Why fluoridate water?
Fluoridation is the addition of a fluoridation agent to drinking water to prevent tooth decay. The products used for water fluoridation at the Pointe-Claire and Dorval plants meet the quality standards established by the Quebec government, which are based on the highest recognized standards.
