What changed
According to WASD's 2025 Water Quality Report, its three regional plants discontinued adding fluoride on June 6, 2025. That complied with County Resolution R-370-25, approved May 6, 2025, and Florida Senate Bill 700, approved May 15, 2025 with an effective date of July 1, 2025. WASD says the change does not significantly affect treatment processes or compliance with water quality standards.
Because WASD serves Miami Springs directly, this change applied to the city at the same time as the rest of the county's main system; there's no separate city decision to look up.
Reading the fluoride line in the report
The 2025 data table shows a highest fluoride value and a range that include the months before June, when fluoride was still added. The footnote is the part that describes today: after fluoridation stopped, main-system fluoride has run about 0.1 to 0.3 ppm from natural levels in the soil and aquifer.
When comparing your own lab result with the report, use the post-June range.
Reducing it further
- Reverse osmosis at the kitchen tap is a common method. See under-sink RO in Miami Springs.
- Carbon pitchers and standard carbon filters generally aren't designed for fluoride.
- Look for certification for fluoride reduction (NSF/ANSI 58 for RO) on the exact model, and replace filters on schedule.
A certified fluoride claim holds only up to the filter's rated gallons, so changing it on time matters just as much as the listing itself.
What else RO changes
RO also reduces other dissolved minerals and sodium, which is why Living Water's systems add an alkaline stage for taste. It treats only its faucet; shower and laundry water are unchanged. If fluoride is your only concern, one kitchen RO is usually the whole answer.
Households that want to keep the natural fluoride usually choose a carbon-based system instead.
Neutral on fluoride
We don't take a side. Whether your family should get fluoride from another source, now that only natural fluoride remains, is a question for your dentist, pediatric dentist or doctor. Our job is to tell you what's in the water and what equipment does.
Private wells
A private well carries whatever fluoride the groundwater holds; ask a certified lab to include it. See well water in Miami Springs.
The Florida Department of Health recommends regular lab testing of drinking wells.
