In May 2015, Brookline’s Annual Town Meeting proposed adding a new Town By-Law, Article 8.35, which would impose a ban on the sale or distribution of bottled drinking water. Only one section of the proposed By-Law was approved by Town Meeting in 2015. Section 8.36.2 of the
Bottled Water By-Law prohibits the use of Town funds to purchase bottled water for use in Town buildings. The Selectmen’s Bottled Water Study Committee is charged with preparing a report to the May 2016 Town meeting that will show if banning plastic water bottles and even all plastic bottles is feasible and will be beneficial to the Town.
