In association with the 2019-2022 strategic priority Foster Healthy Citizens & Vibrant Spaces, City Council is committed to ‘examining the feasibility of fluoridating the drinking water’ in Kingston.
The City of Kingston has not made a decision with respect to whether fluoride would be added to the community water supply, but rather is at the early stages of community engagement and completing a technical review of upgrades required to accommodate community water fluoridation. All findings will be reported to Council for consideration.

To learn more about water fluoridation, the City of Kingston has developed the Fluoride and Water Fluoridation webpage. Here you can find information on topics such as: How Fluoride Works, The History of Fluoride in Kingston and a look at what other municipalities are doing with respect to their community water supply.
The City of Kingston wants to hear from you!
To share your input on water fluoridation, we encourage you to participate via the following community engagement opportunities:
Completing the Fluoride and Water Fluoridation Survey
Attending one of the Water Fluoridation Open Houses
Thank you for
taking the time to complete this survey on fluoride and municipal water
fluoridation.
As part of
its 2019-2022 strategic priorities, Kingston City Council has committed to exploring the feasibility
of fluoridating the municipal water supply. As part of this commitment, City
staff are currently conducting public engagement to gather input/feedback on
water fluoridation.
It is
estimated that the implementation of community water fluoridation in the City
of Kingston would result in an increase of approximately $1 to the average user’s
water bill.
Fluoride is a mineral that can be found in your bones and teeth and is
commonly used in dentistry to prevent tooth decay. Learn more on the City’s Fluoride and Water
Fluoridation webpage.
The
information collected through this survey will be provided to Council in March
2020 for consideration.
This survey
consists of 3 questions and will take approximately 2.5 minutes to complete.
If you have
any questions about the survey, its content or intent, please contact Kate
Lillicrap, Project Manager at fluoridation@cityofkingston.ca or 613-546-4291 ext. 1157.
