A QUEENSLAND water company has taken more than two weeks to tell the Government about a treatment plant malfunction that saw too much fluoride added to water supplies.

Premier Anna Bligh today said the malfunction occurred on May 1 but water service provider Seqwater only advised her Government and affected councils last night.

The Premier said she'd been advised there was an "extremely minimal health risk'' from the malfunction, which came during a shutdown for scheduled maintenance.

The malfunction affected water supplies from North Pine Dam.

Ms Bligh said higher than usual levels of fluoride had passed through a pipeline servicing the Warner and Brendale areas north of Brisbane.

The flow lasted for three hours on the morning of May 1.

Ms Bligh has ordered an immediate investigation to determine how failsafe devices designed to prevent such an incident had malfunctioned.

  • I spoke with a QLD / Brisbane company today regarding our  water treatment plant and he told me that Anna Bligh has her entire house fitted with reverse osmosis plant/s ~ SO - Why would she give a hoot whether the Flouride is is relevant or not! ??

  • LOL...Melbourne has had fluoride in our water for YEARS and never stuffed this way, neither do we have any of the issues claimed by the scaremongers... Only in Queensland could a system run so efficiently in other states be so badly messed up.

  • Normal limits is not safe because Fluoride builds up over time, it calcifies bones making them brittle ,gives you arthritis ,even bone cancer also it calcifies your pineal gland in your brain which is your consciousness, you know slaves ,,the ability to think straight so you know when your getting screwed over by politicians selling you out to a communist dictatorship , hitler did it and so did starlin.

  • Yeah Anna Bligh, "It's safe to drink" we know, Just like the "Air is safe to Breathe". We have heard it all before. Anna Bligh is a political puppet who is a follower, NOT a leader. Great vid 5*****

  • gee, thanks Qld Govt for letting me know....I live in Brendale
