Enter Fluoride Data for 12 Months                               

Overview

You can enter 12 months of fluoridation data for a single water system.

After entering and saving data, you can access the fluoride data again and edit it. However, when editing fluoride data, if daily testing and split samples values have been entered for the current month, the system will not allow you to uncheck the Track Fluoride check box. You must delete the fluoride data before the Track Fluoride check box can be unchecked.
