The Metropolitan Water District of Los Angeles, serving 18 million consumers, has decided to fluoridate its water supply. In an ongoing effort to block implementation of that decision, Citizens for Safe Drinking Water has a new tactic: serving the individuals involved with water management a personal notice that they are responsible for the consequences:

Citizens for Safe Drinking Water News Release

Responsible parties in the chain of delivery of noncompliant fluoridation chemicals, with no toxicological data, can no longer say they didn’t know; face personal liabilities

2000 individuals are being notified that they have official responsibilities, that may extend to personal liabilities, for unlawful activities, orchestrated misrepresentations and omissions of material fact, failure to inform and warn recipient water districts and consumers, failure to disclose financial risks, and deceptive rate-increase practices associated with the specific chemical used for fluoridation.

Citizens for Safe Drinking Water, with national headquarters in San Diego, California, is providing Actual and Constructive Notice to approximately 2000 responsible parties in the chain of delivery of hydrofluosilicic acid, and its contaminants such as lead and arsenic, which are scheduled to be added to public water systems under the name of fluoridation.

Notices are being sent to the legislative water boards and city councils, attorneys of record, general administrators, and water quality managers, of Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MET), of their 26 Member Agencies, and of some 200 down-line water districts that are intending to deliver hydrofluosilicic acid to approximately 18 million Southern California consumers under the guise of altering the physiology of the recipients’ tooth enamel to become more resistant to tooth decay, even though current scientific consensus admits that fluoride incorporated in enamel from ingestion provides no significant benefit.

The Notices do not challenge the public legislative policy of fluoridation. However adherence to the laws, regulations and codes of California identified in these Notices, which are similar in 45 other states and 10 Provinces of Canada, would appear to halt all fluoridation with the chemicals currently used.

This type of Notice is often provided as an opportunity for the recipient entities to remedy the faulty actions presented before necessitating legal proceedings, and clarifies that for these 2000 recipients and others there may be personal liabilities attached to their continued actions or inactions for which they may not merit the normal hold-harmless protections of their official positions.

These 24-page individualized formal Notices, plus additional documentation, clarify the legal and regulatory context that provides the recipients’ authority, responsibility and duty to correct the presented deficiencies.

Key facts presented in these Notices that would have been revealed had the recipient responsible parties performed their own due diligence, include:

•U.S. EPA states that they cannot identify any chronic toxicological data on hydrofluosilicic acid, or provide empirical scientific evidence of complete dissociation of hydrofluosilicic acid and how it interacts with other elements in the water;

•No manufacturer of hydrofluosilicic acid to date has been willing to declare that their specific product is effective at reducing tooth decay when ingested, and safe for the full range of consumption for infants, children, the elderly, and other populations afforded equal protection; and

•Under-oath testimony and Congressional investigation have revealed that no producer of hydrofluosilicic acid has performed all of the requirements of ANSI/NSF Standard 60 to merit certification the manufacturers are provided and California law requires.
