Community water fluoridation in FL
State- and county-level aggregates from CDC's Water Fluoridation Reporting System. Per-utility fluoridation status is not in the bulk dataset; for a specific system, see the link below.
FL no longer adds fluoride to public water
Under Florida SB 700 (Florida Farm Bill), effective July 1, 2025, public water systems in FL may not add fluoride to drinking water. The CDC figures below are historical and describe fluoridation before the ban; naturally occurring fluoride in source water is unaffected.
- Population on fluoridated water (2020, pre-ban)
- 78.5%
- 14,886,493 of 18,952,021 on CWS
- Community systems fluoridating (pre-ban)
- 300 of 1,597
- 125 adjusted fluoride before the ban

Per-system data predates the ban
FL stopped adding fluoride statewide on July 1, 2025 under Florida SB 700 (Florida Farm Bill). CDC's per-system listing reflects status before the ban, not current fluoridation. For the latest measured fluoride at a specific address, see that utility's annual water quality report.
