A Boil water advisory is only for confirmed or suspected microbiological contamination, it is never used for high heavy metals (boiling water with heavy metals would only further increase the concentration of metals by boiling off pure water, (ie. less water, same amount of metals, metal concentration would increase). Chemical effects are long-term chronic concerns (kill you later), while microbiological effects are short-term acute concerns (kill you now).
Fluoride is beneficial in drinking water? Now the gloves come off...fluoride is great for teeth, but very bad for bones. For the costs of adding Fluoride to drinking water, you could provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss and dental care for those that need it for less money spent on adding fluoride to the drinking water, of which only 5-10% is actually consumed. Most of it goes down the drain and outdoor watering. Usually there is already a small amount of naturally occurring fluoride, along with some from green leafy vegetables and teas. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste is proven to do more than a shortcut of drinking fluoridated water. 150 million people in the US have fluoridated water and the rest do not. Those without fluoride in their water are not missing anything.
We all know that tap water is tested way more often than bottled water, foods, etc. Let's not ruin tap water by adding more chemicals to a relatively inexpensive product. Even medical science is ignorant in their Top 10 advances by including fluoridation. I can't recall the number of water customers that have called to say that their doctors told them that our City drinking water could be causing their disease, which is so entirely laughable! People just want to blame someone else rather than themselves these days. Untreated or incorrectly treated water can make people sick, but not properly treated water.

Fluoridation of drinking water Fluoridation of drinking water began in 1945 and in 1999 reaches an estimated 144 million persons in the United States. Fluoridation safely and inexpensively benefits both children and adults by effectively preventing tooth decay, regardless of socioeconomic status or access to care. Fluoridation has played an important role in the reductions in tooth decay (40%- 70% in children) and of tooth loss in adults (40%-60%).
Believe the above statement if you want to, but I can't.
