Pure water does not contain fluoride, but much drinking water does contain fluoride that is deliberately added to reduce tooth decay of children who drink the water. Some drinking water supplies also contain fluoride naturally.
The fluoride content in drinking water of southern states is less, compared to northern states. One reason is southern states tend to be warmer longer and people will drink more water.
The percentage of fluoride in drinking water typically ranges from 0.1 to 1.5 parts per million (ppm) depending on the location and water source. This translates to about 0.01% to 0.15% fluoride content in water.
Fluoride is added to public drinking water to help prevent cavities.

Kirkland drinking water typically does not contain added fluoride, as it is sourced from wells and surface water. However, the specific fluoride content can vary depending on the local water supply and regulations. For the most accurate information, it's best to check the annual water quality report from the local water authority or the packaging of the specific Kirkland product you are inquiring about.
No Sedona, Arizona does not put fluoride in it's water supply. In the US over 70 percent of cities and towns put fluoride in the drinking water.

Boiling water does not remove fluoride. If you want to reduce the fluoride content in water, you may consider using a water filter specifically designed to remove fluoride or opting for bottled water labeled as fluoride-free.
But merely boiling the water will not eliminate the fluoride and can in fact concentrate it because you have the same amount of fluoride in less water. You can distill the water. Meaning you can boil the water then capture the steam, which will be pure. But the process is expensive. You need special filters to remove the fluoride.
usually bottled water does not have fluoride in it unless they advertise that it does (like nursery water or water specifically for kids they may add fluoride to those)
Distillation is the best method for removing fluoride from water. Activated carbon filters have been know to reduce fluoride but not efficiently, there performance depends on several variables, including pH and the general mineral content of the water being filtered. Reverse Osmosis is another method used to remove fluoride but it is an expensive choice at present.
