A senate bill has been introduced to the Nevada legislature this session that could prohibit the sale of plastic water bottles in Nevada Lake Tahoe communities, if passed. The bill is similar to the City of South Lake Tahoe’s ordinance that went into effect on Earth Day of last year and the Town of Truckee’s ordinance, taking effect this upcoming Earth Day. Both ban the sale of certain plastic water bottles and both municipalities lie on the California side of Lake Tahoe. Senate Bill 324 would introduce similar restrictions in communities that abut the Nevada portion of the Lake Tahoe Watershed. The proposed bills prohibits sale of disposable plastic water bottles under four liters.
