The South Blount Utility District in Maryland decided to stop fluoridating its water when it opened its new plant in June of 2004. District manager Isom Lail and plant manager Henry Durant recommended to the South Blount Utility District Board that they stop fluoridation, since the chemical is not a required additive.

Lail notes that fluoridated water could be beneficial to children between the ages of 4 and 14, but that it has been linked to diseases like osteoporosis and cancer. Lail says most water district customers have not expressed any opinion on the subject. He notes that his wife's kidney condition has been somewhat less severe after the change in their drinking water.
