Friday October 5, 2012 7:00 AM

OLIVER SPRINGS, Tenn. (AP) — It appears voters in Oliver Springs will ultimately decide whether to keep fluoride the municipal water supply.

According to WVLT-TV (http://bit.ly/RhHfC9 ), the water board in the Roane County city of 3,300 people originally intended to stop using the additive without telling the public.

After a hearing Thursday night at which area dentists were among people who supported keeping fluoride, it was decided to put the issue on the 2014 ballot for a public vote.
