Is there fluoride in Cuenca water?

14 years ago

I have been repeatedly told that the water in Cuenca is the only in Ecuador you can drink and that it is very pure, coming straight from the mountains. People here seem to be very proud of that fact.
I still only use it for tea after I boil it for a while. Now an expat told me that an expat told them that there is fluoride added to it, which, as a nutritionist, I find unacceptable at best, for a myriad reasons I won't get into. I have found only one place that sells non-fluoride toothpaste (the chemist by the cathedral on Bolivar), and I researched water supplies and sanitation, but no mention of fluoride.
Does anyone know if in fact there is fluoride in Cuenca water and where they got their information from? It would surprise me if they did have fluoride, as their lobbying system is not like in the US, but you never know... Thanks.
