LAKELAND, Fla. — The City of Lakeland has voted to remove fluoride from drinking water. The Lakeland City Commission voted unanimously to stop adding fluoride to the drinking water supply immediately. The city said the fluoride that is in the water supply will run through the system, but the pumps that add it will be turned off. Multiple cities around the Tampa Bay area have discussed the issue of fluoridation, but so far the majority have not removed fluoridation from the water supplies.
