FLASHBACK: Construction Begins at Blue Lake Complex on Mount Gambier Water Fluoridation Plant Set to Open in 2010

Australia seems to be on the front lines in the Fluoride Wars, because every story I link to about fluoride leads down under to Australia with more and more jurisdictions trying to add this toxic compound to the local municipal water supplies. The latest battle is at Blue Lake and Mount Gambier.

Work began today to construct Mount Gambier's fluoridation plant, with fluoride expected to be added to the water supply next year.

Excavators began preparing for where the plant will be built, on the side of the road, just up from the pumping station.

SA Water says it'll take five months for the works to be completed.

"We anticipate residents will start receiving a fluoridated water supply by mid-2010," SA Water's chief operating officer John Ringham said in a statement.

Why are people forcibly medicated with this fluoridated water? Why can't people have a choice that also include an affordable supply of non-fluoridated water? No, if you are hooked into the municipal water supply, you will have to drink fluoride.

Luckily, there are groups fighting this fluoride mandate.

A group calling itself Choice says it will ask people if they want to support fluoridation and whether there should be a vote on the issue.

Sharon Stafford from Choice says volunteers will be aiming to get at least 10,000 signatures from people outside polling areas.
