PORT ANGELES — Opponents of fluoridating the city’s water supply will get their chance to challenge the project’s environmental permit before the City Council at a hearing in December.
The challenge to the city’s environmental approval of its water fluoridation project is scheduled for 5 p.m. Dec. 17 in the council chambers at City Hall, located at 321 E. Fifth St.
The hearing will last at least four hours and probably will be continued to Dec. 18 or another date in December.
The City Council voted 6-1 on Feb. 18 to accept a Washington Dental Services Foundation grant of as much as $260,000 for installation of a water fluoridation system and public education efforts.
The city Department of Community Development ruled in late October that fluoridation of the city’s water supply did not pose a significant environmental risk and did not require an environmental impact statement.
