But I'll tell you something. This also has me on edge as the only trade off seems to be plant upgrades. If this is the only trade off I would be surprised.
I never bought that whole, "it's good for our teeth" BS. I hope Edmonton and area is next!

Calgary city council has voted 10-3 in favour of removing fluoride from the city's drinking water.
Proponents of fluoride say it prevents tooth decay, especially in vulnerable groups such as the poor, children and the elderly. Opponents question the safety of fluoride in drinking water and suggest it should be up to individuals to decide whether to expose themselves to the additive.
The city should also see cost savings in the move — the cost of adding fluoride to Calgary's water is about $75
