NEW JERSEY East Brunswick to Stop Fluoridation Excerpts: He said the township is going to begin replacing water lines in the Lawrence Brook area, as well as stop using fluoride in the water system. “I’ve read much data on the pros and cons of putting fluoride in our water system,” Stahl said. “When fluoride was first introduced, it was not easy for individuals to receive fluoride in any other way. “Today, there are many other options and, in addition, so many people are choosing to drink from bottled water. I just believe it’s the time to end this, and this is something that will be done very shortly.”
