M I N N E S O T A <br /> MDH <br /> DEPARTMENT or HEALTH <br /> Protecting maintaining and improving the health of all Minnesotans <br /> November, 2003 <br /> CONGRATULATIONS! <br /> Your Minnesota community has maintained optimal water fluoridation for all twelve months of <br /> 2002 as identified in the Water Fluoridation Reporting System of the Centers for Disease Control <br /> and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia. <br /> Minnesota was the first state to legislate municipal fluoridation (regardless of community <br /> population size) in 1967 and continues to be proud of our wide spread acceptance of this <br /> equitable, safe, inexpensive and effective public health method to prevent tooth decay. <br /> Currently, more than 3,900,000 Minnesotans are privileged to be drinking fluoridated water in <br /> large part because of dedicated community leaders and the conscientious and diligent work of <br /> their community water operators. <br /> The success of water fluoridation has benefited all children as well as adults and seniors. Thank <br /> you for your part in providing this wonderful public health measure to your Minnesota neighbors <br /> and friends. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> • <br /> Dianne M. and/enrich <br /> Commissioner <br /> P.O.
