Dear Chloe

We refer to your request for information which has been considered in accordance with the Environmental Information Regulations 2004.

1. We add fluoride to the water in parts of Cheshire and West Cumbria. We do not add fluoride at any other location including Liverpool. Please see the attached map showing the relevant areas.

2. We know that the agreements were in place from the late 1960s and 1970s with the then water authorities.

3. We do not hold this information. We recommend that you contact the relevant local authority for operating costs and Public Health Authority in relation to capital costs relating to fluoridation.

Should you consider that we have not adequately complied with our obligations under EIR, you have the right to ask us to carry out an internal review of our response. This can be done by writing to David Hannon Head of Legal, United Utilities, Legal Department, Grasmere House First Floor, Lingley Mere Business Park, Lingley Green Avenue, Great Sankey, Warrington, WA5 3LP. Alternatively, you may find it easier to e-mail us directly on [United Utilities request email] , quoting the above reference, and your review request will be forwarded on to Mr Hannon.

Any request for an internal review should explain why you wish a review to be carried out, and should be made within 40 working days of receipt of this letter, and we will reply within 40 working days of receipt. If you are not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to make a formal complaint to the Information Commissioner.”

Yours sincerely

EIR Team
Legal Services
