| Solicitation Profile |
Community water fluoridation is considered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to be one of the ten great public health achievements of the 20th century because of its role in the decline of tooth decay in children and tooth loss in adults. Today, even with widespread use of fluoride toothpaste, mouth rinse, and professional fluoride treatments, water fluoridation has been shown to reduce tooth decay by an additional 25% over one’s lifetime. Fluoridation of community water supplies benefits everyone in the community regardless of age, race, and socioeconomic factors such as income or insurance status.
The 2016-17 Executive Budget authorizes the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Commissioner of Health to establish a grant program to municipalities for costs related to the construction, installation, repair, replacement, or upgrade of fluoride equipment in drinking water facilities.
Component 2 (DWF2R2) this component is for municipalities looking to upgrade, replace, repair or purchase equipment to initiate or maintain water fluoridation.
Questions are due May 31, 2015 and answers will be posted on or about June 23, 2016. Please see RFA for further information.
