Do the major cities in New Zealand have fluoridated water?

Also, does the water smell like chlorine, for example when taking a shower?

Yes all flouridated.
No chlorine taste, tap water is just fine until you taste it filtered and then you go and get a filter yourself because it no longer tastes fine without one.

i think all the cities are fluoridated, and the towns to. Our showers smell like nice warm water, def no chlorine, unless you want to bathe in a swimming pool... I read somewhere that NZ tap water is the cleanest in the world.


dookie
Im pretty sure most cities have flouridated water. Doesnt smell like chlorine; Even in the big cities the water isnt that bad.

Comparing to cities like Los Angeles and New York were i tried the water ours is very good!

Our city and town water is fluoridised, alas. Chlorine is less of an issue, except for swimming pools where it wreaks.

Some cities have better/cleaner water supplies than others; and even within them, there can be variables between 'hard' and 'soft' water. Depending on how it's sourced.

Fluoride yes, chlorine no. NZ tap water is safe, but you can buy a filter to fit on your tap. Or a filtered jug.


mrs mole
Christchurch has no fluoride or chlorine.It is lovely water and I take full advantage and drink a lot of it.

No smell of chlorine but definitely has fluoride.

A few years back, Marton and New Plymouth were 'famous' for the taste of the town water. I don't know what it's like now.
All major towns have fluoridated water and most water schemes have chlorinated water.
Some smaller rural and urban water supplies are not a pure as water should be, but nothing that a charcoal filter at the tap won't fix.
All domestic water, as far as is known, is drinkable, but some more drinkable than others.


HaggisKiwi
Yes - they usually dump it in at night so it's got time to dilute into the system.
& Yes - depending on how much they dump in!!! Some councils used to do a triple dose on Friday nights to cover the weekend.
