PORT ANGELES — Several opponents of fluoridating the city’s public water system have appealed a recent Department of Community Development ruling that the action will have no significant environmental impact.
The appeal to the City Council was filed Nov. 14. No hearing date has been set.
Appellants include Clallam County Citizens for Safe Drinking Water; Protect The Peninsula’s Future; Port Angeles resident Barney Munger; and Sequim resident Dr. Eloise Kailin.
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.
