“We need to keep making sure that residents who need to can easily buy water in plastic bottles of one liter or less,” said Town Manager Mark Pruhenski. “We hope those who are able will keep using re-fillable water bottles when possible.”

On Mar. 12, the town suspended its ban on sales of plastic water bottles of one liter or less. That action was renewed again in late April and will now extend through August. The town will continue to revisit the issue in coming months.
