Fluoride Information
In 2008, the Nebraska Legislature
passed LB245 requiring all cities and villages with a population of
1000 or more to add fluoride to their water supply by June 1, 2010,
unless such water supply has sufficient amounts of naturally
occurring fluoride.
The voters of the city or village may
adopt an ordinance, after April 18, 2008 but before June 1, 2010 to
prohibit adding fluoride to the water supply. The ordinance
may be placed on the ballot by majority vote of the governing body
of the city or village, or by initiative.
The full text of the Nebraska statue
regarding fluoridation may be found on the web at
