Dear Mr. Andy Kegley:
The Minnesota Department of Health Oral Health Unit and Drinking Water Protection Section
are pleased to present you with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC)2010
Water Fluoridation Quality Award. This award recognizes those water systems that adjust the
fluoride concentration in drinking water and achieve a monthly average fluoride level that is in
the optimal range for 12 months of a calendar year, as documented in the Water Fluoridation
Reporting System(WFRS).
The CDC initiated the Water Fluoridation Quality Award in 2002 to recognize outstanding
performance by water systems. For calendar year 2010, Minnesota was one of 29 states using
WFRS to earn this award.
Water utilities and their customers value the ability to demonstrate attainment of quality service.
Awards can be a good tool for promoting water fluoridation and we hope that this award will
provide you with an opportunity to highlight the excellent work being done by your system. To
assist you in promoting this achievement, a press release template that can be tailored for your
community is available upon request.
Congratulations on this outstanding performance and thank you for providing safe, dependable
drinking water for your community. If you have any questions about the award or the press
release, please contact either David Rindal at(651) 201-4660 and(david.rindal @state.mn.us) or
