What I want to do on this page is give you template documents which you can adapt to your water district situation.
Remove my letterhead at the top and write yours in. For greatest effect, get your local attorney to put these documents on his letterhead. This saves him the trouble of recreating the wheel.
Then your local attorney can afford to work for you for much less cost. If he or she is already successful and has sufficient other income, he or she might do the work pro bono, maybe that it will eventually lead to a paying personal injury, toxic tort case.
Here are some of the documents I have used and which you can adapt very easily.
Freedom of Information Act Request
This is a 2008 FOIA Freedom of Information Request addressed to the city of Everett. In Washington we call this a Request for Information. It also includes Everett’s answers. The FOIA request is one of the first step you should take. It proves that water district and city officials have not looked at the science and so are negligent and reckless.
Notice of Potential Liability – Notice to Confirm Insurance Coverage
This is a Notice of Potential Liability and Notice to Check Coverage with Insurance Carrier. It is addressed to the city of Everett, but it can be adapted for use with pretty much any water district.
Request for Bid for Fluoridation Materials
The city is Selmer, Tennessee is sending out requests for bids for fluoridation materials. These bid requests ask that the fluoridation materials be fit for the purpose they will be used. This approach would be one which might be used in a city in a state where fluoridation is mandatory. If suppliers will not certify their fluoridation materials to be fit and safe, then the water district’s obligation to fluoridate would not exist.
The proposed Arkansas Water Accountability Bill is even more specific.
Notice to Governor of Potential Liability
Fluoride Class Action put Governor Gregoir on notice that the state of Washington was a potentially liable party for allowing and promoting drinking water fluoridation.
