"This is a personal/family solutions article. Please kindly refrain from discussing fluoride’s toxicity or government inaction.
We particularly welcome in the thread below - tips about where the public can access clean and safe natural springs on public land close to roadsides and towns that the public can access to refill drinking water"
This is as problematic as fluoridated sources of water. Due to heavy metals contamination; forestry and council roadside weed spraying contamination; dairy and any industrial activity run off or contamination; faecal pollution and general pollution/contamination of permitted activities such as 1080 drops and storm water discharge - New Zealand's water bodies are not as clean and 'safe' as we are led to believe. Where are these sources indeed..?

We are also aware that the national policy on freshwater similarly ignored the majority of synthetic chemical emissions into freshwater, including drinking water sources. https://psgr.org.nz/component/jdownloads/send/1-root/64-2019-freshwater
