Response:
I refer to your official information request dated 25 April 2023.
Currently the Feilding potable water scheme is the only scheme in the Manawatu District that has fluoride treatment.
The attached spreadsheet has the fluoride grab sample data that has been collected between 1 July 2022 and 1 May 2023. The average concentration during this period was 0.8g/m3 with a maximum concentration of 0.92g/m3 which is within the recommended target range of 0.5g/m3 and 1g/m3.
The maximum acceptable fluoride concentration is 1.5g/m3
