Residents in St. Clair County will soon have a chance to weigh in on how fluoride is handled in local drinking water. The county Health Department has released a proposed rule tied to federal EPA guidelines and set a public hearing for July 28th in Port Huron. The plan would not ban fluoride but would require water systems to stay within federal targets or notify the county if they exceed them. Officials say feedback will shape the final decision before commissioners consider adoption later this year.
