Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility manager Mark Corsentino told Anchorage Assembly members the mayor’s decision was “done in haste for good intentions” and said he did not believe the mayor violated city code. But his account also contradicted some previous statements from the administration.
stipulates Anchorage’s water supply must be fluoridated. The code states that the manager of the utility is “authorized and directed to continue supplementing the fluoride content of the water supply.”
“He asked me to tell him more about fluoridation,” Corsentino said. “... It was part of the conversation.” He told the mayor that fluoridation can be paused without breaking city code because it stays in the system for “days ... if not weeks later,” Corsentino said. In a previous statement, the mayor’s office said Bronson directed it be turned back on after he “determined Municipal Code requires the fluoridation of Anchorage’s water supply.”
Constant also asked about differing statements made by Corsentino and Hickel about conversations between the two of them before the mayor’s Oct. 1 tour. When Constant asked Corsentino whether he had asked Hickel and the mayor to remove fluoride from the water systems, Corsentino replied, “No I did not. Not that I remember.”Hickel on Friday said she’d spoken with Corsentino several times between her August tour and the mayor’s tour in October.
The memo says the general sentiment among Eklutna plant employees is that they feel safe using all the proper personal protective equipment for “loading fluoride.”
