Fluoride in Cedar Hills Water
Cedar Hills does not fluoridate its water, but the water contains a certain
amount of natural fluoride, which ranges between 200 and 1240 parts per billion. According to the State,
there would need to be about 2000 parts per billion to receive any medical
benefits from the fluoride. If you are interested in supplementing your fluoride
intake, you should consult with a dentist or pediatrician.

- 280 mg/L or 16 grains/gallon.
Does the City chlorinate its water?
No. Wells are the City’s primary source for culinary water, and they do not require system-wide chlorination. Some cities, however, are required to chlorinate water from sources such as natural springs. Once a month, the City of Cedar Hills conducts tank batching to prevent any bacterial growth in the storage facilities. Typically, the water in the City’s storage tanks is circulated at such a rapid rate that we do not see any bacterial growth. This monthly chlorine batching is done strictly as a precautionary measure and is not required by the State. Both of our current wells, Harvey and Cottonwood, are constructed in a way that they could accommodate future chlorination if required.
