Subsequently, at a special meeting of City Council held January 28, 2013, City Council passed a recommendation requiring the removal of fluoride from the Windsor drinking water system and on February 4, 2013 enacted a bylaw in support of that motion.

On February 5, 2013, EnWin Utilities Ltd. water operational staff acting on behalf of the Windsor Utilities Commission and in accordance with the City Council resolution, made a submission to the Ministry of the Environment requesting that the Ministry amend the Operating Licence removing the requirement to add fluoride to the drinking water system.
