Fluoride Equipment Failure

The Town of Meeker Water Department’s water fluoridation equipment is currently inoperable therefore, providing optimally fluoridated water has temporarily ceased. The existing equipment was installed in the early 1990s and has deteriorated beyond repair. The Water Department has been unable to make the repairs and is working closely with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Oral Health Unit to repair and identify funding sources to replace the aging equipment. The Town is focused on getting updated equipment to provide optimal fluoride levels but, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, this process is moving slowly.  The Town of Meeker will keep the residents updated on the progress via our website and social media.
