The City of Wakefield has received another award from the CDC for the quality of fluoridation in the city’s water supply, the sixth received since 2015 according to Dave Semanek, head of the city’s water department. The award is given annually to communities across the state, 12 of which are in the upper peninsula. The CDC has recognized fluoridation as one of 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century, perpetuating good dental health in communities that have fluorodated water, according to a press release from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Communities have saved between $1.10 to $135 for every dollar invested according to the CDC.
