LGOIMA Requests

Manawatu District Council have six potable water schemes as detailed in Table 1 below. Of these schemes fluoridation occurs at the Feilding treatment plant only. As a result the following only relates to the Feilding potable water scheme (FEI001).

1) Fluoridation status: list of the years the water supply has been fluoridated. If no fluoridation has ever occurred at that water supply, indicate no fluoridation and ignore requests 2-5.

Fluoridation commenced at the Feilding site in 2003

2) Interruptions to fluoridation: Identification of any time periods where fluoridation was interrupted for substantial time periods (eg, >3 months) for either technical issues (mechanic problems) or political decisions (cessation of water fluoridation). Please provide a date range

There have been no interruptions to the Fluoridation at the Almadale treatment plant.

3) Fluoridation chemicals: List of the fluoridation chemicals used at each site (e.g. sodium fluoride powder/crystals, sodium silicofluoride/fluosilicate, hydroflufosilicic/fluosilicic acid), the supplier of these chemicals, and example copy of the material safety data sheet for the product. Any records held with respect to any supplied fluoridation chemicals to have exceeded specific impurity limits, as set out in the Water New Zealand Good Practice Guide for supply of fluoride for use in water treatment.

Hydroflufosilicic/fluosilicic acid

4) Fluoride dosing system: Type of feeder used (e.g. gravimetric dry feeder or volumetric dry feeder into a solution box or dissolver, or solution feeder). Type and number of fluoride analysers or metering system used in dosing system.

1 X ABB Fluoride Analyser solution feeder

5) Quantifiable fluoride results: Any quantifiable testing result for fluoride for your water supply. We are only interested in those water supplies that are fluoridated. Preferably data could be provided in a spreadsheet with the MoH compliance codes. We are seeking data as far back as records permit. If your council no longer stores this information, could you please provide permission to us to contact your commercial testing laboratory supplier for any achieved results held by them.

Happy for you to contact CEL for any further information. Spread sheet attached, TP00162 treatment plant.
