Plastic Water Bottle Ban

Our drinking water is sourced right here in Mammoth Lakes, and a new sustainability effort is tapping into this delicious resource while reducing litter and cutting down on waste. Beginning January 1, 2026, businesses and individuals are now prevented from selling or distributing single-use plastic water bottles less than or equal to 500 ml in the Town of Mammoth Lakes. This means single-use plastic water bottles of this size will no longer be available for purchase anywhere in town. Water in plastic containers greater than 500 ml will still be available for purchase, as well as alternatively packaged water, such as in cans, boxes, or aluminum bottles. By refilling your water bottle straight from the tap, you can help reduce plastic waste and protect the watershed.
