a fundamental right everyone's entitled to, whether they're drinking from private supplies or public supplies, then I think the private side of the matter probably needs a lot more discussion, a lot more attention to be paid for it to give those people the same kind of protection and facilities that public water supplies enjoy today.

Yes, Dan, again, that's one of the prevailing issues of our time is the debate about adding fluoride to water. So there's unquestionably data that has shown that the addition of those small quantities of fluoride has had a huge impact on dental health. But nonetheless, we also know that fluoride in higher quantities can go the other way, that it can cause you harm.

But nonetheless, we also know that fluoride in higher quantities can go the other way, that it can cause you harm.

So this aspect gets studied very closely, and scientists the world over in the U.S. work very hard to make sure that the amount of fluoride that's set in Minnesota, it's set in California. It's set in state statute and nationally CDC has guidance for how much fluoride needs to be added. And those numbers have been revised downwards as now we get fluoride from other sources too.

There's fluoride in toothpaste and fluoride in mouthwash. So with all of that, the amount of fluoride that gets added to municipal waters has been revised downwards to keep that total exposure to fluoride at a safe level. And certainly, although this is a very, very highly researched topic, lots of experts looking at this very closely, the world over,

So I think people can be confident that the small amount of fluoride being added into municipal water supplies is not going to push us over that area where we're getting too much fluoride. But nonetheless, this is a topic of great debate and people are certainly justified in having concerns that we're getting too much fluoride because that is not healthy either.

But again, all we can do is assure people that this is an issue that everyone's aware of. And again, our medical community, our scientific community, keep a very close eye on how much is being added to municipal supplies to make things, just keep things in balance.

Yeah, the underpinnings, again, on public water supplies, everybody follows the Safe Drinking Water Act. That's the federal requirement. All the states in the United States, barring perhaps one, have been delegated the authority by the federal government to administer the Safe Drinking Water Act in the state. So we're all really using the same playbook.

So we can be assured that when you travel across the border, the water and the public water supply really is following the same rules and regulations and the same kind of testing, the same rules. Everybody has to meet the same quality criteria. So that's a pretty constant thing as you travel across the United States. So there's definitely some reassurance in that.

And besides that, there is a lot of coordination and communication and sharing of information and cross-training and learning from each other. We do a lot of things collaboratively with our neighboring states. And we share some of our source waters. We have the same aquifers, the same surface water bodies, the same rivers that flow across.

So there's a lot of coordination on making sure that we are helping each other out and keeping those source waters safe. There's definitely coordination there. And again, I think state to state, share the same values, share the same signs, share the same regulations. So it is not a patchwork. It is a pretty consistent body of regulation and practices across this country.
