In Kentucky, the state law dictates that water must be fluoridated. KRS 211.190 states:
Administrative Regulation 902 KAR 115:010 then details out how water fluoridation is to take place in Kentucky. Fluoridation is mandatory for community water supplies serving populations of 3,000 or more. A water system serving a population between 1,500 and 3,000 must provide supplemental fluoridation if adequate equipment is available. Those serving fewer than 1,500 users are not required to add fluoride."The cabinet shall provide public health services including:
(11) Establishment, maintenance, monitoring, and enforcement of water fluoridation programs for the protection of dental health."
