A community with a population of 10,000 has a groundwater supply with a natural fluoride ion concentration of 0.2 mg/l. The annual water con­sumption is 550 mil gal, and the annual average maximum daily air temperature is 65°F. What fluo­ride concentration do you recommend maintaining in the distribution system? If fluoride ion is applied using commercial fluorosilicic acid with a purity of 25 percent, calculate the pounds of commercial acid required to fluoridate the community water supply for 1 year.
