The city manager is hereby authorized and directed to provide
the means and to proceed with the introduction of fluorine,
sodium fluoride or a compound thereof to the city's public

ion concentration of approximately one part per million.

The water department shall keep an accurate daily record
showing the number of gallons treated and the fluoride ion
concentration of the water after treatment. Such department
shall also determine and record the fluoride ion concentration
in the distribution system at such points and at such intervals
as may be directed by the director of the Albemarle-Charlottesville
Joint Health Department.

The director shall have general supervision over treatment
of the public water supply with fluoride, and the water department

of records specified herein, at daily, weekly or monthly intervals
as may be required by the director. The water department
shall also furnish copies of these records to the state
department of health at monthly intervals. (12-2-63.)
